This book is a revised and edited version of the original Book "A Dimdim in Paradise" published by Balboa Press in 2014. I went to Papua New Guinea with Mining Giant Conzinc Rio Tinto in 1970 to work in their Bougainville Mine and fell hopelessly in love with the country, and it's people. This book follows my journey through the thirty-six years I lived in-country, teaching in an agricultural college, vocational training centres and the fisheries college. I attended six-to-six dances deep in the jungle, hid under a table in a tavern that was attacked by warring tribesmen during a tribal fight. I helped remove the Apartheid system, and lived for weeks at a time in the villages of the idyllic Duke of York islands.
Autorenporträt
All of these questions and answers come from my own contributions to Quora, a website that allows anyone to ask any question about anything, and anyone else to answer any question about anything. Q&A all the time. It allows the quants, the brills, the loonies, the whackos, and serious thinkers and writers to gather together to share both brilliance and looniness in equal parts. People who should have no opinions at all on anything are allowed to have opinions about everything; some of those opinions (most?) are whacky, but some of them are brilliant. IMHO. I also use a number of science resources in my answers - Wired, NewScientist, Popular Mechanics, Scientific American, Discover, Forbes, and many others - because using real science is suppose to silence the whackos. Sigh. Oh, well. What are you gonna do?
