Bøker av H. W. Randall

The autobiography here of William Foralisworth is an example of human life proceeding from one interest to another. William's first day at school tipped him off that life is perhaps not a bowl of cherries. Ambivalently relocating to different states of the US with his parents required social adaptations his genes never could have anticipated. Interest in understanding what was going on motivated him eventually to seek higher education, which led to expatriate travel and living in different cultures. A chance meeting with an orange-picking Danish woman in Israel led to domestic life in Denmark. His anecdotal ventures are related with amusement and illustrate an interplay of choice and circumstance as he moved about Japan, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, Israel, and Europe. The introduction and afterword are reflections offered by H.W. Randall and draw on studies in biology, physics, and psychology to suggest that the biological impulse of life, which like an oceanic undercurrent is present at every progressive level of development, may be recognised in the guise of 'will' as it sustains coherence between every passing window of non-material consciousness, which will not stop until the train does.
