Philosophies & Profundities

Ed Nielsen is a keen observer of the modern scene and has chosen 25 timely subjects for analysis. But timely does not mean here today and gone tomorrow. He has taken pains to choose subjects that will be of interest for many years. In this book he analyzes matters such as race relations, religion, the death penalty, illegal immigration, and taxes. On each subject he establishes a factual basis, describes what is going on currently, and suggests future remedies. He develops opinions based on facts, not on racial, political, or any other kind of bias. His views as stated in "Philosophies & Profundities" are as close to irrefutable as possible. Some readers will learn much on subjects they hadn't considered previously. Others will have their existing opinions reinforced. And finally, some readers will be even more resolute in their differing opinions. In all cases, Nielsen strives for civil discourse on many controversial subjects. Nielsen avoids tags, such as Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative. Instead, he considers himself a pragmatic, someone who bases his thoughts and opinions on provable facts. Nielsen has written seven other books on such subjects as the Vietnam War, WWII, classical music, softball, and baseball. In addition, he has authored hundreds of newspaper and magazines articles on such subjects as dining, sports, and books. He is a retired civilian employee of the Department of Defense. He and his wife live in western North Carolina. For more information about his books, go to his website: BooksByEdNielsen.com
