Product Details
- Encounters with strangers can shape and reshape one’s life. Most are unexpected. During my life on the road as an anthropologist, educator, and explorer during the past half century, I’ve had dozens which were meaningful. I’ve selected 50 for this book. From one of the last two men on the moon, to a resistance fighter later killed for standing bold, to a woman who lost her limbs to a land mine, to a future U.S. president’s mother, to a villager who thought I was the U.S. president, these encounters proved to be uplifting, humorous, shocking, and – in two cases – mysterious. All were fascinating. Some of these people were famous; most were everyday citizens, in 17 countries spanning the globe. Each encounter – accompanied by a photograph – is described in a short vignette, placing it in its broader context.
