Reclothing the Emperor: Part 1: the Dissatisfaction Allen Stewart

When two Florida natives take time to reminisce about their lives, and their lifelong relationship with Florida's natural environment, it results in serious contemplations about the development of the human perspective regarding use, management and appreciation of natural resources. While relaxing in the idyllic setting of Florida and the Bahamas, the two rely upon a series of stories, poems and adventures, and the metaphor of the naked Emperor, to explore the evolution of technological society. The wisdom of many recognized creative leaders is brought into the conversation to explain our general "Dissatisfaction" with the biological realities of being human-- a primate species. When genetics enters the discussion, a new array of possible explanations for the human condition is revealed.
