Heptagon Writings

This book is a collection of my writings which previously appeared in various forms and at various times in the local newspapers. The writings are varied in content. Part I of this book is a consolidation of thirty-one such writings which were published during the period of 2013-2020. What connects my writings is the societal issue that was on my mind and in which I had some understanding and knowledge. The thread that connects my writings is a theme represented by the topics of Education Innovation Work Immigration Trade China and America. These themes shaped the configuration of my writings each representing a side and gave rise to the seven-sided heptagon.In Part II I explain this connection. I also add my pragmatic advice to America which now stands at a crossroads. Part II is essentially the newly created material. When I selected a topic I researched it identified an interesting issue and applied my knowledge and career experience as a teacher physicist Intellectual Property lawyer litigator and writer to pragmatically offer a solution for the readers to consider. My writings reflect the insights that I have which are relatable to others. They are like stories which needed a listener or a community of readership. Each of my writings is an amalgamation of my critical analysis serious contemplation intellectual legacy and authorship. I intended my writing to be recreational reading. Read them casually. Use the advice I provide in my writings as down-to-earth if you chose to. Otherwise read for pure entertainment.
