Part memoir and part reflection on the broad range of human concerns, Essays explores memories of the author's early years and family life, as well as some of the extensive international traveling he has done throughout the years since. Other essays delve into his experiences of solitude, art and literature, astronomy, evolution, the nature of time, consciousness, museums, world history, and the Holocaust.This wide-ranging collection of essays preserves and presents Howard Giskin's experiences and the lessons he's learned. Thought-provoking and contemplative, Essays encourages deeper thinking in an age of quick-fix entertainment.
