History might not repeat itself exactly, but there may be certain familiar progressions that echo throughout time. Modern challenges may seem overwhelming, especially when facing them alone, but humans, thankfully, have never had the planet to themselves. With the hard-earned wisdom which could only be gained by a formative association with lawn gnomes, a staring contest with the last living dinosaur, and rigorous daily haiku practice, author Brian Parrish offers pearls from the sea, sky, and beyond. This short jaunt to the moon might get a bit crowded before the telling's done, but the more the merrier, so sit back, buckle up the emu & we're off!
