Produktbeschreibung

Does good exist? Or is it only a matter of a culture's definition or description or of personal position and opinion? The characters are two US Marines, an Iranian military family, an Iranian business mogul and his vengeful son, the daughter of a young US immigrant from Iran, a handful of educators, a curmudgeonly hotel owner, a hired killer, and a corrupt deputy sheriff. Through their eyes, we see the impact a single deeply considered idea, good or evil, can have on one's life. In Iran, Vietnam, California, and Arizona, the players reveal their personalities and characters. We discover the impact that one life and one idea-the idea of rings-can have years and even decades later.

Autorenporträt

Jim Stuckey grew up on a 250-acre dairy farm just one mile from the town of Lathrop, Missouri (population: 1,049). He walked to and from school unless rain or snow was falling. He received his Bachelor of Science degree, then a Master of Arts degree In Education (Math and science). He moved to Denver to teach mathematics at North High School. In his first Colorado summer he served as the program director for a handicapped children's camp on the Grand Mesa...a transformative experience. His second Colorado summer began in the Colorado Outward Bound School's instructor training course, followed by his first course as a COBS Instructor. That autumn he joined the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies' team of Exhibits Managers, conducting stage presentations at the American Museum of Atomic Energy and at high schools throughout the US. After three years of being called "Mr. Atom Man" he returned to the Colorado Outward Bound School as assistant to the Director, and to instruct courses with student populations other than teen-aged males: women, industrial supervisors, juvenile delinquents, etc. In 1971 he joined the Prescott College faculty.
