    About this ebook

    Before the Great War, on both open doors of the family store, like a Chinese divination, is the name of the skeptical Austro-Hungarian philosopher, who put sense experience before language, in an ironic endorsement of this Foto Companion, to my biography, War From War, which puts (some seventy) pictures before words.
    These are not war pictures, tho they show the effects of war about the civilian interlude, beginning with my grandfather among casualties to World War I, and ending with the call-up of my father among conscripts to World War II.

    Richard Lung

    My later years acknowledge the decisive benefit of the internet and the web in allowing me the possibility of publication, therefore giving the incentive to learn subjects to write about them.While, from my youth, I acknowledge the intellectual debt that I owed a social science degree, while coming to radically disagree, even as a student, with its out-look and aims.Whereas from middle age, I acknowledge how much I owed to the friendship of Dorothy Cowlin, largely the subject of my e-book, Dates and Dorothy. This is the second in a series of five books of my collected verse. Her letters to me, and my comments came out, in: Echoes of a Friend.....Authors have played a big part in my life.Years ago, two women independently asked me: Richard, don't you ever read anything but serious books?But Dorothy was an author who influenced me personally, as well as from the written page. And that makes all the difference.I was the author of the Democracy Science website since 1999. This combined scientific research with democratic reform. It is now mainly used as an archive. Since 2014, I have written e-books.I have only become a book author myself, on retiring age, starting at stopping time!2014, slightly modified 2022.
