  By the way, as most of you know, we have put our photos before every bit of dialogue.

  This should make you more familiar with us. So these books read more like plays. Since most of you read the books in PDF or EPUB format it is no problem. But if you read them in RTF or TXT you will probably lose the photos. This will make the transitions of the conversations more difficult to follow.

  When read as ebooks, which are free to the concerned readers of the world, the table of contents will have no page number because different book sales organizations use different technologies so that the pages will not be consistent from one seller to another. In ebooks just search the terms you want in the search field. If you read it as a pdf file or a print book the table of contents will have page numbers.

  You will notice when reading that the odd numbered books, while heavily documented, may seem like a combination of science fiction and non-fiction. They chronicle our travels. However the even numbered books are non-fiction and explore one or more issues introduced in the previous book..

  As we explore the issues that threaten our planet, I hope you become as concerned as I am. If you have any comment on my thoughts please contact me at: mailto:[email protected]
