About the Book

Time travel, immortality, alternate history, and more! Fascinating tales from the past, the present, and the future? Examining the intriguing aspects of the nature of time, these stories include: Seeing the world through the eyes of ancient tree that remains unchanged on its lonely mountaintop as the centuries come and go. Adventurers who try to go back and change history to save a glorious ancient city that they love. A Native American who comes back to life and wonders what has become of the world that he once knew. A Civil War re-enactor who wishes he could go back to see the real events so badly, he can almost taste it. Rumors abound about a book of secrets that has been passed on from president to president. Can they be true? A curious boy who is so obsessed with dinosaurs that he wishes he could walk among them. A lonely modern explorer who goes on a quest to find the last place on earth to remain untouched by humans. An aging hippie who wrestles with the question: Did he change the world or did it change him? A retired military man whom after doing some family history research is saddened by the realization that he is the last of his line. A young Italian college student is tormented by the enigma of his strange dreams. What could they telling him about himself and the nature of time and existence? In a dark, possible future, alien students view the Earth as an object lesson of how not to run a civilization. In a hopeful, alternate future, America is re-energized by a new age of discovery in space. These thought-provoking stories will capture your imagination and leave you talking about them for days.
