ABOUT THE BOOK A significant segment of the world's literate population prefers their reading material in short, zippy, punchy sections. This collection of literary tidbits is deliberately disorganized in an effort to hold the reader's attention. Should the reader find a particular story devoid of interest, he will soon come to the end of it and stumble on something that might appeal to him or her. No serious effort has been made to be scientifically, historically or grammatically correct.

Caught in the middle

By: Gunnar Alutalu

The Second World War brought destruction, suffering and insecurity to millions. Much has been written about this period in history. This book looks at that time from the viewpoint of a growing boy. It is an account of his observations and feelings, joys and sorrows, his adventures and mis-adventures, his hopes and aspirations. Caught in a war between powerful nations, and missing out on much of normal schooling, his early life was nonetheless an adventure-filled and informative learning experience.

Dad, Get Serious!

By: Gunnar Alutalu

This is a collection of sixty short stories. A few are inter-connected, the majority are individual subjects. Many are humorous. These are fictional tales, although at times based on everyday happenings, prejudices and wishful thinking. No offence is meant to be given to anyone. Let it be taken for granted, that the viewpoints expressed by the author are bound to conflict at times with those of the reader.

The Day the Cars Stopped Running

By: Gunnar Alutalu

Due to forces beyond human control, motorized traffic stops world-wide. Governments react by taking control of available resources, imposing temporary rationing, enacting new laws, providing incentives and encouragement to new commercial enterprises. The former fossil-fuelled economy needs to be replaced by the new, environmentally friendly one. Citizens react by discovering new business opportunities and by finding new careers. Forced initially to revert to primitive transport methods of a century ago, they soon adapt to the new realities of a changed world, and throw their energies into building a new, modern and environmentally friendly civilization. New talents are discovered; new alliances and friendships are forged. The economy starts moving again. Reports of successful new enterprises abound. Human inventiveness triumphs. Young people meet under unusual circumstances, romance blooms, and together they face the challenging future and join their fellow humans in building a better world.

The Brownsbury Phenomenon

By: Gunnar Alutalu

The time is late nineteenth century. The place is a Nova Scotia coal mining community in Canada. A visionary young man inherits the mine and takes daring steps in breaking with the long-accepted confrontational management-labour relations traditions. Despite becoming the target of censure by his contemporary mine owners, he presses ahead with daring innovations and enlists the help of talented individuals from among the miners. The result is an improvement in the lives of coal miners, an establishment of a new manufacturing community and an assured future for all. It is the pre-World War world of youthful optimism, of hope, of great expectations, of experimentation and limitless possibilities. It is a tale of romance, adventure and discovery.
