Sometime during 2013, I became aware of my first symptoms. I was diagnosed in March 2015. I rushed to finish the book I was writing since my retirement in March 2011. Under a perceived shortage of time, I decided to self-publish. The book was out by mid-2016. By early 2018, I was getting restless. I started writing again. Naturally, much of what I wrote concerned my experiences with ALS. Having learned how to publish a book, I indulged myself. I have now three more. While reading posts from sufferers of ALS, whether patients or care-givers, I concluded that there might be benefits if I made my writings more accessible. So, I gathered the relevant chapters from the three books, added a preamble and some final notes and went 'to press'. For a small but very special audience. May some find help.

I call it 'Politics,' based on an unusual definition attributed to the late Christopher Boehm, formerly t...

  • Disappointments
    John E. Beerbower
    Disappointment.  It comes in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes, we see it coming, or, even invite it; sometimes, it takes us by surprise. It can be a shock or a relief. So, that is my theme for this tiny volume. I am still wandering. Any writer of nonfiction will look for an angle, a theme, a perspective, that will give his book a claim of originality, of making a contribution to...

They married right after my...

    These essays are on topics reflecting the intersection of science and humankind. They concern time, consciousness, beauty, probability, and understanding.
