A Conversation with Dick Meyer

This was a difficult interview, but that's not author Dick Meyer's fault -- he was trying his best to answer my many and convoluted questions! Well, maybe it was his fault, since my questions were many because his book is so interesting and convoluted because his ideas are so smart. You can see this simply from Meyer's first answer explaining the book's title; one small word change can signify a lot!

Even if you don't always watch these interview videos, take a peek at this one to hear Meyer talk about the sense of community that comes from understanding our role as individuals, families, and a society in history. It might spark a valuable New Year's Eve conversation or two.

Thanks to all of the authors, readers, and others (valiant Producer Mark and valiant Booker Suzanne, take a bow!) who have helped make this site work in 2008 -- here's to a new year and (teaser) a new site!
