Aaron's Earth Manual - Writing at the 'Crack of Dawn" 5AM

The extent to which this 'relationship' was a part of my soul began with a process in presenting Aaron Brown with an understanding of Global Warming. That was not as easy a task as I had thought. So, I began to compose a 'book.' To make it fun I called it "Aaron's Earth Manual" and sent it to him so he could come to understand why I felt strongly about this issue.

The book's name was changed to present it to publishers. I didn't pursue the possibility diligently and the paper copy was set on the self. I only recently remembered how deeply this loyalty was and decided to include the introduction here. The dedication was sincere. It wasn't a marketing tool and neither was the press page to Earth Rescue, Inc.

If it weren’t for the basic elements of chemistry, life on Earth and within the universe would not be possible. Understanding the volatility of nature leads to understanding the chemistry of nature. It is this chemistry most affecting the issues we face today, Global Warming and depletion of The Ozone Layer.
