Sobre IBD

This is the fifth volume of what is now known as 'The Notational Quintet,' a collection of acerbic and penetrating views of our contemporary society. The author tends toward pessimism but there are occasional bright rays that engender some hope. In reading these pieces you may be disturbed-occasionally outraged-but not bored. Good for deck reading on SS Titanic...

  • He Caught the Westbound
    Dayton Lummis
    “He caught the westbound” is an old American hobo expression for someone who has departed from this life. In the case of this book it is employed to be symbolic of a passing American way of life and the people who created that. We live in troubled times, and the author often uncomfortably reminds us so. Yet positive travel experiences relieve the pessimism wherein the author sa...

  • DEATH BY DEVICE
    Dayton Lummis
    The author freely admits that 'devices' are not all bad. For better or worse they have changed the world. But this book ranges far from the subject of the effects of 'devices,' often into areas distinctly 'politically incorrect.' Some commentary is amusing; others might be seen as 'disturbing.' This is a good companion book for your 'one-way trip to Mars!' Read it, and you will...

  • Fly Me to the Moon
    Dayton Lummis
    To some this collection of commentary and observations-fourth in what now must be called 'The Notational Quartet'-might seem as remote as the proverbial 'Man in the Moon.' But the reader will find it very relevant to the changing and troubled times that we find ourselves in. The author has steered the reader and vessel to a distant and little known shore, where hope for return ...
