Produktinformationen zu „Terry's Run (ePub)“
This book gives a view of nearly a century of American life-a century of astounding changes in technology and upheavals in social values starting in the 1920s. The story is seen through the eyes of one individual: first, a boy growing up in the South during the depths of the Great Depression, then a young man working his way through college, serving in World War II, and launching into a career of astonishing variety. Episodes range from boyhood and wartime adventures to scenes in academia and events at the top levels of government in technical work for the United States Department of Defense and the White House. Owning and managing a factory, designing contemporary houses, playing a role in management of symphony orchestras, sailing to the South Pacific, winning highly competitive ocean races-all these are elements of a life reported with keen observation and humor.
Autoren-Porträt von Terrell Greene
Terrell Greene, Terry to friends and co-workers, was raised in the southern US, grew up during the Depression years, and served abroad during World War II. During the nearly hundred years of his life he has been a critical observer of the changes in technology and cultural values that have occurred in this extraordinary period. Educated in technology (Ga Tech and UCLA) and in the liberal arts (Columbia and USC), he has worked in academia, the business world, and as a scientific advisor at top levels of the Air Force and the Office of the President. Along the way he has found time for adventures in long-distance ocean cruising, for highly competitive ocean racing, and for roles in the management of two symphony orchestras. He has lived in Virginia on the Chesapeake Bay with Nancy his wife of 56 years, the former Nancy Gibson.
