About the Book

Two hundred 500-word stories on a variety of topics.
About the Author: David was born in England, but has spent most of his career as an educator and educational television writer-producer in Canada and the United States. He has triple citizenship: European, Canadian and American. In addition to his work with teaching machines and his educational research, writing, creation of a Computer-Assisted Authoring Language (CAN) and production of multimedia kits for schools at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education in Toronto, with his wife, Denise Boiteau, David has written and produced some four hundred television scripts (documentary, drama, comedy, animation) for TVOntario in Canada in both in English and French, the Public Broadcasting Service in the U.S., the Discovery Channel, NHK, Encyclopedia Britannica and Time-Life. He has also written half-a-dozen feature film screenplays. All of his TV scripts were produced and broadcast in Canada and the United States, as well as around the world. His TV productions have been translated into more than a dozen languages and have won over fifty international film and television awards, including the selection of "The Middle East" series in the 1987 Academy Awards Best Educational Documentary category. While living in Canada, from 1967-87, David - again with Denise Boiteau - launched a French-as-a-Second Language TV network. He has also served as Media Delegate to the Gulf States in the Middle East for the Ontario Government. He speaks French, German and Arabic and has a First Class Honors B.A. in Modern Arabic Studies from Durham University and an M.A. in North African Literature (Arabic and French) from Cambridge University, including post-graduate study at the Sorbonne. He also completed a number of years of post-graduate work towards a Ph.D. in Media Studies with the late Marshall McLuhan at the University of Toronto, as well as at UCLA, comparing the effects of Roman, Arabic and Chinese script. In addition, David has had extensive training in television production and screenplay structure at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the National Film Board of Canada, Ryerson Polytechnic, the Public Broadcasting Service and UCLA, as well as attending a number of Hollywood screenwriting courses. Since 1987, David has lived in Malibu, California. David was also recruited by MI6.
