Peter E. Carter shares his journey to several schools and school districts with us as he withstood the slings and arrows as well as basked in the praises and joys of the people he met and with whom he worked as a school administrator in New York, New Jersey, and Delaware. He was a force to be reckoned with as well as a human being to be loved and admired. Join him on his trip with many professional stops along a tricky and exciting route with several twists and turns.

Does every event have a cause? The question seems innocuous enough; hardly expected to lead directly into all kinds of trouble. It should have an easy straightforward answer. Except it doesn''t. And the proposition that the answer challenges every other belief we hold in our ethics, our politics, and even our personal theologies, is downright preposterous. Except it does. Through a progression of short connected essays and soliloquies, this provocative book explores the profound psychological, moral, and spiritual implications that follow from this one simple (yes or no) question, weaving the most intriguing perplexities of neuroscience and modern physics into the three paramount (life and death) concerns of every thoughtful human being: The existence of God, the prospect of immortality, and finding meaning in our present lives. Moving succinctly from sensible neurophysiology and basic chaos theory, to the baffling enigma of consciousness and the bewildering weirdness of quantum theory, it bravely confronts the inescapable corollary question: Do we have free will?This bold venture into trustworthy determinism and uplifting secular humanism might be unsettling, maybe even upsetting, for some good people, including loyal patients and faithful friends.

Over the years I have shared anecdotes with friends and colleagues from the times that I worked in mental hospitals. My daughters Elizabeth and Catherine have encouraged me to put down in writing the stories that seemed to capture their attention and others who have heard them. Like many people I have talked about writing a book and now with their encouragement I have done it. I have worked in six mental hospitals in different capacities over the years. Nowadays most mental hospitals have been closed or in a few cases reduced in size leaving only a few beds on what were massive sites often with their own farms creating a self-sufficient community.
