Author Description

This collection of stories was inspired by anecdotes and character sketches given to us by Guy’s good friend and colleague, Professor Neville Peppard. At a conference of leading social scientists, Professor Bublé invited Peppard to make some closing comments after all the distinguished panelists had wrapped up. Dr. Peppard acknowledged his colleagues' contributions to the social sciences. Then he went on to say what he really thought: “But in all candor, it’s just so much bullshit. My conclusion, and perhaps I speak for many in the audience who, like me, are neither eminent nor distinguished, my conclusion is that, putting all these armchair theories and untestable hypotheses aside, human beings are just plain goofy.” Enjoy reading about the goofy characters Dr. Peppard brought to us.
