This colorful memoir follows Bill Heard, Ph.D. through various early and mid-life experiences throughout the American Southwest that have shaped him into the man hes become. It sheds light on his struggle to grow up and finally cross cultural boundaries and enter into the intellectual community. Many of the early happenings occurred during the Great Depression and the dust storms of the Midwest in the 1930s. It was said that, on any day, one-fourth of the American people were on the road looking for work. To that extent, this memoir is historical, as seen through the eyes of a child.

Dr. Heards storytelling is easy to get caught up in: at times humorous and other times sad, sometimes inspirational, and always interesting. He bares even the most awkward and teaching moments. His story is full of action, with a variety of life experiences with unexpected twists and turns.

Dr. Heard aims to present one persons struggle to grow up and manage his life in the context of such questions as who am I, and how do I become that person? Socrates has said, The unexamined life is not worth living. Dr. Heard hopes that others reading the book will find a companion in their own unique struggle to lead an examined life.

Great chair!
Color: Black
Had some issues with Delivery! But got the chair. Beautiful and comfortable. Had one once before as a gaming chair, same kind but bought it from walmart. I used to fall asleep in it all the time. Now i have it for work! One of the best chairs for the cheapest price you can get! If you want a more comfortable chair then this..... your looking at about 300 bucks. Which is next on my list! It comes with its own screws and washers. The manual is self explanatory however you do kinda gotta play the guessing game. It's pretty simple! match the screws up with the ones in diagram. It comes with an Alan wrench. Your hand might be a bit tired tho. I advise to tighten them with super lock tight or gorilla glue so they never come unloose. And gorilla glue the bolt covers on. Keep in mind if you use gorilla glue..... they will never come off. Lol. But as far as tighting it.... do not over tighten it. Tighten enough to where you have to put some pressure on it to turn it half way and stop. Another tip, it's a bit of a pain to set it up with one person. If you got an extra set of hands... use em. If not.... you might be their for a bit. Start with setting up base. Then put arms on seat. (Keep bolts loose but screwed in. You'll see why later when you tighten them down) Then attach back to arms and seat. (Now make sure bolts are in holes and tighten them down. But not at once! Do about 4 turns, move to another one. Then the other side. It's like tightening lug nuts on the wheel of a car. If you tighten one all the way down it will throw all the other bolts off and make it much more difficult to ease the bolts into the holes they go in) Then attach seat to base. Believe me. It's way easier if you do it like that instead of how the installation instructions say. After that, put the caps on the holes to cover the bolts. If you don't glue them, they will pop off ..... their not..... super good. But!!!! 1 or 2 drops of gorilla glue and you never have to worry about them popping off. (They seem like they go on their tight, but they don't stay on!)

Nice chair but definitely not breathable.
Color: Black
Once I figured out the arms had a left and right...the chair was easy to put together. The faux leather is nice. The seat is (or will be once I break it in) very comfortable. I have 2 minor complaints. It is extremely straight up and down. I haven't had much chance to play with it to see if I can get it to recline even an inch. That would help. And number two, it's HOT. I'm going to have to get some sort of seat pad because the pleather is not breathable and every time I get up my bum is sweaty. I know, TMI. But all in all I think it will serve my purposes.

Color: Black
Beautiful chair, comfortable and rolls well, the directions were not very clear, we had the seat on backward at first, but finally figured it out and the chair is perfect, I've had it over a year and it works perfectly

Good quality, fairly easy assembly
Color: White
Comfortable chair as advertised. Assembly time about 20 minutes with one screwdriver needed. (Note: don't follow the instructions included. Lay the left arm assembly down on the floor and THEN affix the seat, followed by turning that over on its side and adding the right arm assembly. Trying to affix the two arms in an upright position is too difficult as directed.) The only thing I don't like about it is the fluted upholstery on the seat and back, where a bit more padding would have helped greatly. Otherwise, it's comfortable and functional and reasonably priced. Delivery was on time. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS AFTER 18 MONTHS OF USE: I've used the chair for 6-8 hours a day. The leather on the arms is cracking in multiple places. This is a big disappointment. And speaking of the arms, there's a major problem with the sewing of the leather on the outside edge of both left and right arms: the stitching is on the top at the outer edge, which means that it forms a jagged edge that your arms scrape on when resting on the leather. That jagged edge scraping my skin has caused a great deal of chafing, is most irritating, and could have been avoided entirely if they had just applied the stitching one inch further down on the side rather than along the top flat edge. This is a major design flaw. I will not buy this chair again because of the one flaw and the too-thin, cracking leather on the flat top of the arms, which is too bad, because it's fine in all other ways.
