Overview

"This is the first of a three-volume memoir in the author's provocative ""tell-all"" journey to feature the artistic side of the human condition. As such, there are matters that go well beyond Dr. Blahnik's professional career as a physician and scientist. Yet they are the unbreakable rules of the Scientific Method that guide our deep understanding of the Darwinian evolution of the human mind, the DNA-driven emergence of the psychotic mental illnesses, and what we call human creativity. In this first volume, the lively narrative quickly connects us to the author's True Love for the American desert lands; indeed, the desert is his ""mistress,"" in particular Death Valley National Park. Then the whimsical adventure travels to Europe (to Paris and Berlin, but also elsewhere), along the way always with a keen interest and focus on thought-provoking matters of history. All three books have the words in their titles: ""thy Death Valley House"" for Beatty, Nevada. It is the artist's legacy objective to build this house in the small, historic mining town, certified as the Gateway to Death Valley, called Beatty. Given the author's decades of experience in Death Valley as a professional landscape photographer, his very long Chapter Six dramatically profiling the 1960s Charles Manson hippie cult in Death Valley Country is something whereby Dr. Blahnik has been duly authorized to make the claim with confidence: ""No one can tell this story of Charles Manson in Death Valley in the manner that I have."" Furthermore, it is decidedly engaging and indeed surprising to observe the extent to which the history of some members of the cult serves as a foil to the author's character. Imagine that."
