About this title

Synopsis

Roger Gilbertson has been there, done that. Since 1955 he has been auditioning and experimenting with specialties. Aiming at becoming a generalist in our complex culture. He describes why his background suits him for speculations on human history. Then he compares Primalization with Civilization. There are many differences. Our genes want to take us in one direction. Our personal micro-culture wants to direct us along a path of its own. We are all stressed. Nature and nurture are interlocked, negotiating and compromising within us for decisions and outcomes across a lifetime.

About the Author

For over 50 years Roger has explored careers in business, non-profits, consulting, the Navy, Federal Government, teaching, public speaking, and writing. He is a Gold Medal winning author for his book: "A Free-Range Human in a Caged World" presented by the Global Ebook Awards. Along his life trail he worked in the White House and ran for Congress. He retired as a Rear Admiral in the United States Navy Reserve. His formal studies include math, engineering, science, physics, English, sociology, philosophy, law, psychology, business, anthropology, economics, accounting, leadership, history. From the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute High School through Georgia Tech - Purdue - University of Colorado - George Washington University Law School - Harvard Business School - American University - UCLA - to a doctorate from the University of Southern California. But never as "just a student" always with a career as well. "Working his way through colleges" - a concept seldom seen now. He doesn't like to be labeled. Yet, if pressed, he would call himself: a proactive philosopher. He has lived in 15 of United States and been to most continents.

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
