ESTERO, Fla., March 17, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- This book is about things that trouble humanity. B.W. Wojciechowski examines timeless problems: ancient animosities, the problem of energy supplies, profligate governments, arrogant corporate management, environmental worries, problem-ridden schools, catastrophically low birth rates in developed countries and so on. In the game of life, there are many possible outcomes, some good and some disastrous. Those who find themselves worrying about the future of humanity may find that the book provides useful insights, food for thought and some idea of what direction to follow.
Designed for the thoughtful reader, one who wants to map the road humanity is traveling, who wants to identify and understand promising alternatives, The Game Must Go On suggests that there is hope for a bright future.
"We all try to stay informed, but we tend to be presented with crisis after crisis in superficial "sound bites." We see important topics distorted by partisan editorial pundits. We are presented with each topic only briefly and in isolation. We see the trees, but we fail to see the forest," says Wojciechowski. This book is for those who want to go beyond mere "knowing" to reach an understanding of "The Game."
Each chapter is an essay that tackles an important subject: government, free enterprise, education, equality, energy, religion, sex and the environment. Wojciechowski challenges current thinking, as each topic is examined and projected into the future. He follows past trends and timeless realities that govern the progress of societies, and looks at interrelationships among the issues. The discussion is often provocative and sobering, but also offers realistic suggestions for improving prospects in the game of life.
Born in Poland, Wojciechowski was deported to Kazakhstan in 1941. One of the lucky captives to escape, he made his way through the Middle East and finally to Scotland by the time he was 8. He studied chemical engineering at the University of Toronto, where he earned his bachelor's and master's degrees. After receiving his doctorate from the University of Ottawa, he spent several years in the petroleum industry in the United States before becoming a professor at Queen's University in Kingston Ontario, where he published 3 books and over 170 technical papers dealing with various aspects of science in detail. He has retired to Florida where he continues to study and write.
