The world is a book,
and those who do not travel read only a page.
Clusters of Far-Ranging Escapades takes you on a round-the-world adventure-without leaving your favorite chair! Travel with agricultural consultant, educator, and international explorer James E. Diamond, PhD, to Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceana, North America, and South America.
This book features 200 narratives, descriptions of incidents, adventures, encounters, and escapades by the author-and his family and friends. Each narrative in this book is organized by continent and highlighted by a captivating photo from Dr. Diamond's travels. Dr. Diamond firmly believes in the power of the narrative:
- Words make you think a thought.
- A thought makes you feel the words.
- A narrative makes you feel thoughtful words.
Clever readers will discover lessons the author consciously, intentionally snuggled within each narrative. As you read, he challenges you to find the embedded lessons and ponder their intentions.
Clusters of Far-Ranging Escapades is a celebration of friendship, ingenuity, sustainability and joy. The author hopes that reading this book encourages you to say, as is his signature quote:
If I was any better, I couldn't stand it!
