Challenge to Crisis

About the Book

In writing this book the author is very mindful of the fact that he is dealing with subject matters which have been dealt with by learned men up in the centuries. He is also familiar with many writers of this Twentieth century who have grappled with the problems of human relationship. Further, he has personal acquaintance with men of this current decade who are sincerely endeavoring to promote a better understanding of man's role in society. This book is not written as a critique of all such writings. Nor is it written in vein of criticism. It is an attempt by one person to extract the best from all that he has read, project his own thoughts, and apply such composite yardstick to considering mankind's problems of the present.

About the Author

About the Author: Minnesota born in 1916 of Scandinavian parents, the author completed high school in the throes of the Great Depression. He worked in logging camps, harvest fields, road and building construction. For over twenty-five years, he has been a printer and publisher. During the early years, he began a relentless search for answers to the economic and social dilemmas that plagued the nation then and are increasingly with us now. In 1961, with his wife and brother, he incorporated Aquila Press to promote specific reforms restoring justice and sanity to the nation. From 1963 to 1970, he edited the monthly magazine, Eagle’s Eye. Now at fifty-three, the father of three children, all students, Pearson feels a special kinship with the younger generation who are now demanding answers to the same questions he was asking at their age of a less responsive world.
