 John wrote, refined and combined the essays and poems in this collection over several years, crafting into them his thoughts on consciousness, life, history, the universe, everything. They reflect his lifelong interest in the changing nature of humans throughout time.It was a subject John spent his life researching, as a criminal barrister, a writer, a father, a mentor, a friend and a truly human human being.Here he lays out and encapsulates his findings for all to read.Margot HutchesonJohn Bryson was a poet, storyteller, rally-car driver, high-end racing sailor and rower, nature lover and a practising criminal barrister through to his middle years. A fighter for justice and the fair go.A Brief History of Thought - Unfinished is his last work, his final case. In it, he puts the case for the power of philosophy and the Arts, through history. To overturn the dead hand of conservatism and greed. It is his final cross-examination, his ultimate summing up.Richard Leplastrier AO
