An Indelible Event and Detour Through a Global Childhood: A Memoir
Henry M. Silvert

Long description:
At the age of 6, Henry Silvert was in a car crash on a country road in Mexico that would change his life forever. Before the accident, he had been an ornery, creative, precocious, and somewhat nerdy kid who enjoyed practicing the violin and playing bridge. The injuries he experienced were life threatening, but, as his doctor said after an initial exam, This boy doesn't know how to die! An Indelible Event shows how this stubbornness and will to live fueled a recovery that required him to relearn how to walk, eat, and speak. Silvert details an adventurous childhood spent in a number of South American countries and his experiences with political activism and prejudice during his high school years in Hanover, New Hampshire. He also delves into his intellectual awakening and pursuit of a life in the social sciences. Ultimately, An Indelible Event depicts how Silvert's own optimism and the support he received from his family and friends helped him create a full life that transcended his initial tragedy.
About the Author: Henry M. Silvert, Ph.D., was born in Philadelphia in 1948, did his undergraduate (1967-1971) and doctoral studies (1976-1985) at New York University, and read for a Bachelor of Philosophy degree In Latin American area studies at the University of Oxford (1971-1974). He spent his childhood years in New Orleans, Guatemala City, Mexico City, Santiago, and Buenos Aires, and lived in Hanover, New Hampshire, and Norwich, Vermont while he was a teenager. As a survey associate and statistician, Dr. Silvert worked at The Conference Board, where he co-authored several reports regarding business matters, for 23 years. He has also worked on projects addressing, among other topics, childhood hunger, drug use, and the HIV/AIDS epidemic and gave presentations at conferences on Chile's return to democratic practices. Dr. Silvert has been a visiting professor at The Colegio de Mexico, where he taught comparative politics of Latin America, and an adjunct professor of sociology at various colleges and universities in New York City.
