Slight ruffling to lower corners of pages, else fine. Bright, clean, unmarked, tight & solid glued binding. Foreword by Dr. Darrell Guder and Dr. Lisa Sardinia. Cover design by Pauline Haas. The professor says that being a professor was not on his boyhood list of things he wanted to be when he grew up. They were not part of the life in the real world, growingup as he did during the Depression and drought-plagued dust bowl farm in western Minnesota during the 1930s. His father was a farner. He wanted to be a farmer. He still wants to be--but befoe that, he has his four decade journey as a professor at a small liberal arts college teaching hundred of students the fine art of thinking well, infusing the rigors of scientific stury with an awe for all things living, as well as a healthy respect for other arenas of thought. Full of "---delights, surprises, and insights--". 131 pages. 5.5 x 8.75 inches. 2003, Stump House Books, Spokane, Washington
