How would you like to travel back in time and make a societies future? See how it is done. In the early 1960s Dr. Blanchard had the good fortune to experience societies who had yet to thrust themselves deep into the twentieth century and were generations behind the physical and cultural progress of the western world. His good fortune led to some interesting and rewarding experiences interrupted by frequent returns to the world he left. They were insücient to give him the appreciation of how much and how rapidly his own world was changing. He meets some interesting people and experiences many incidents that not only can't happen today but never will again. His return to what we now call the "good old days" was indeed an adventure he shares with you at every step in his life during the period 1964-1985 when he retired to pick up the life he had left. Unless you have lived in eight different countries and have travelled to many many more you cannot relive his life and time but he shares with you his journey back in time and all of the adventures that made for a truly unique life. Through his other books you can learn what his adventures have taught him.
