Synopsis:

Our Fated Century is a kaleidoscopic scan of events and attitudes that have affected us and our fellow earthly travelers during the tumultuous period from 1917 to 2017. During this period, the earth, its people, and their ideas have been ever-changing, and our horizon has shifted from Earth to the universe. The author has had extensive experience in various work and life environments, study, teaching, clinical practice in surgery, medical research, travel, and social interaction. He invites the reader to share in wide-ranging observations and information. In addition, he leaves for his successors cogent suggestions for further study and scientific investigations. The author leaves us with the ancient query "Quo vadis?" But he appends some guideposts!
