About this title

Synopsis

In My Affair with S, Bill Alcorn’s highly appealing and thought-provoking collection of forty-eight personal essays, readers are introduced to a singular man who shares his views and musings on a wide range of topics that we consider daily…and several that we do not. From observations that range from softball and the Van Cliburn Piano Competition to cleaning his files and tap dancing, from conversations with his grandchildren to politics, and the special emphasis on his love for science and his investigation of noetic science (consciousness, intuition, and spirituality), we see a life’s work through the eyes and spirit of a scientist with an open mind, open heart, and a passion for living.
