More DescriptionThe book Super Life helps us educate our youth with realities of nature, life, and environments in preference to appealing myths. Appealing myths are not an option for survival, which is why homeless humans go to cities and not to wildernesses.During my years of teaching at North Carolina State, Ohio, Yale, and Duke Universities, I found most restrictions placed on management of natural resources were actions taken by well-meaning but uninformed citizens. During my work with the U. S. Forest Service, I found restrictions on management of natural resources were relaxed when citizens, officials and leaders understood the realities of nature, life, and environments. My book, Super Life is organized to help every student from high school to graduate school grasp the reality: Judicious disorganization of nature and organization of parts to create environments for living is an essential key to our existence.I hope you will find my book Super Life a useful aid for fulfilling your important work. In an apathetic universe, where change is the only constant, we must live "super lives" to continue to carve out our destiny. Since the beginning, when living organisms began to flourish on Planet Earth, it has always been the ability to outsmart the elements and the surrounding environment that has enabled some species and not others to thrive and propagate.My easy to read Super Life provides answers to age-old questions: What is life? Why am I here? What am I made of? Where am I going? Does life evolve? Then I present a vital, new question: Why is disorganization a key to our existence? We live or die depending on the inherited talents and the skills we acquire that enable us to form new and better living environments. In Super Life, readers learn about the only way we can create a future for ourselves and our children, and how this future must contain the elements of justice, honesty, and concern for others.In 1935, educator/scientist/author Stephen G. Boyce began asking questions of parents, teachers, religious leaders, and other adults about nature, life, and environments. To his dismay, he discovered that most of the adults he knew gave only "confusing answers" and "avoided discussing realities." Five years later, he began to compile information and gather evidence from many sources. Today he brings his scientific conclusions together in a format that is easy and enjoyable to read. The result? Super Life.
