  • Sophie's Planet
    Sophie’s Planet Dear Young People, I am writing for the sake of all young people, and I hope to communicate with those of you of high school and college age. You must be concerned about your future, and hopefully also about the future of your nation and your planet. You have the potential to affect all of those futures. That is a bold assertion – it may seem like a homily for a graduation ceremony. I wish to persuade you that it is not only a plausible goal, but that it is essential that you alter the course upon which older generations have set us. No doubt you know that global climate is changing. Moreover, political polarization and disaffection within and among nations is rising. Life prospects for youth, in many nations, are not improving. These matters are interrelated. While these threats are not being addressed effectively, nevertheless a basis for optimism emerges – if the global situation is assessed objectively and if the issues are well understood. “Well understood” is the key phrase here. Is there any reason you should believe that I can help you understand these matters? The best reason I can offer is that I am trained in scientific objectivity, and so done by a master, Prof. James Van Allen at the University of Iowa. I will always try to make clear the rationale for my conclusions, warn you when subjective and political factors may be involved, and leave ultimate conclusions to you. I describe where I came from, so you can assess what prejudices that might introduce.

  • Chapters 1 to 18
    Preface Red Country, Blue Country. I am both red and blue. I was born in a farmhouse in Charter Oak township, Iowa, and I grew up in nearby Denison, Iowa. Denison is the county seat of Crawford County and contains most of the population of the county. In the 2016 Presidential election Crawford County went 67 percent for Donald Trump. The omnipresent political maps show our region as dark red country. I was educated at the University of Iowa, in Iowa City, which is a university town, and of course liberal. I do not need to look up election statistics to know that it is dark blue on political maps. I love both Denison and Iowa City. I cannot think of better places to grow up and go to school. I wish that young people today were as lucky as I was. The problem is not the place or the people. Red country people are good people. Blue country people are good people. Let me give liberals a little reassurance about Denison, given its landslide vote for Trump: in 2008 Obama handily won the Presidential vote in Crawford County. On election night, as results began to show an Obama victory, I had tears in my eyes. I was proud of our country. When Obama took office he had a lot of good will, even in red country. Yet Obama failed badly. Sure, he did some good things, and we enjoyed an exemplary First Family. But Obama did not convert opportunities to improve fundamental prospects for youth, who secured his election.
