Sobre IBD

THE MILLENNIAL DEER is a collection of essays-social, cultural and political commentary, in the form of old-fashioned correspondence. Relevant to the changing conditions of the early years of the 21st Century, the author’s views are presented with wit, great insight, and occasional political incorrectness and ill humor. They seek to connect a lost past with the mystique of a present that is blundering into uncharted and dangerous territory. As for the book’s title, the author says, 'Always at my back I hear-THE MILLENNIAL DEER'

    Hundreds of movies and thousands of books have been written about the heroes of World War II.

  • 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...

    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 ...
