Otis starts from Manila on a short cruise that turns into a voyage of weeks and months as he sails farther and farther into the Pacific Ocean. He is somewhere east of Fiji when he passes through the barrier reef of an island he doesn't know the name of because he doesn't have a chart. He has left a lot behind and now he thinks only of sailing home. But the island he has arrived at won't let him leave, not until he finds out what happened on the Far Atoll.

How a landmark experiment in rat behavior changed the way we think about cities.To study the effects of social density on antisocial behavior, one maverick scientist builds a simulated city—and populates it with rats . . . After the Civil War and throughout the twentieth century, cities in northern American states absorbed a huge increase in populations, particularly of immigrants and African Americans from southern states. City governments responded by creating new regulations that were often segregationist — corralling black Americans, for example, into small, increasingly overcrowded neighborhoods, or into high-rise “projects.”The situation intensified after World War II, as rising crime and racial unrest swept the nation, and blame fell on the crowded conditions of city life. The hardest-hit populations were left marginalized and voiceless. Enter John B. Calhoun, an ecologist employed by the National Institute of Mental Health to study the effects of overcrowding on rats. From 1947 to 1977, Calhoun built a series of sprawling habitats in which a rat’s every need was met—except space. The results were cataclysmic. Did a similar fate await our own teeming cities?Rat City is the first book to tell the story of Calhoun’s experiments, and their extraordinary influence — an enthralling record of urban design and dystopian science. Meticulously researched, it follows Calhoun’s struggle to solve the problem of crowding before America’s cities drain into the behavioral sink. And as the “war on rats” continues around the world, and our post-pandemic society reevaluates the necessity of urban living, the riveting story of Rat City is more relevant than ever.

Globalization and the ever decreasing need for human workers have impacted, perhaps especially the Western world, like a slow moving earthquake. So much now seems uncertain and the future approaches as a fearsome threat. So many are aware, only of their lack of power and ability to effect any change in a seemingly inevitable time of deep uncertainty.This has led many to seek stability in a search for their past, a quest to discover those from whom they descended, and a sense that they are not alone.This is not a pointless quest. Who am I, where do I come from, and how should I understand the ancestors who shaped me, are questions human beings have asked from time immemorial. In "So Let Me Just Say" I have attempted to find answers to some of these questions and ask (usually myself) why the people I have interacted with acted the way they did. I have done this, mainly for my family, but hopefully it is interesting for others as well. It is also true that others have memories that can complete our own inner jigsaw puzzle. At times I have simply sought to reclaim the world as it was, or at least as I understood it, so that that world would not be lost and probably misunderstood. What I have experienced cannot be understood without an awareness of the place God has had in my life. In this regard the essay at the beginning of the book is really a questioning of what makes us who we are, and what God''s thoughts may be on how we view others. In the face of a rapidly changing world, stability, peace and understanding can still be found and community discovered in a knowing of God, and a deeper understanding of ourselves.
