I have worked for many years now to build the beginings of an Insitute of Ecology, for I feel that we must soon find a way to balance our social and human problems, desires and resources with the remnants of the planetary ecosystem and global ecology. I have also been for most of my life a practicing artist, and continue in that work. I work as a consultant and supporter of indigenous cultures, here and aborad, and help work to preserve and revive cultural heritages. I have worked for years in land ecology, hydrology, biology, botany, oceanography, marine biology, geology, sociology, psychology, and continue to study history, both human and the natural planetary history of all the various bioemes to further understand the past and to build hope for the future. I study science fiction and literature in general to find new insights that others have seen or to prod my own inner thoughts into new directions. I believe we can and will find ways, at least some of us, to return to balance with ourselves and our natural world.

And the characters are real, human and they invite us to follow their efforts in many ways. The issues of science in service to politics, war and social needs is raised in… Read more
