Praise
for A.S. Ziner's Evergreen (April, 2009)
"Evergreen takes a serious problem, domination of
the weak by the powerful, and places it in a context that makes it
understandable for the entire family. In it, A.S. Ziner spins a rich,
hopeful and imaginative tale that highlights the importance of
civility, belief, caring, perseverance and imagination in ameliorating social problems. I have no doubt that Evergreen will
become an instant classic ..."

Andrew Scott Ziner
is an applied
sociologist, college professor and futurist. He has

Evergreen: A Space-Time Odyssey
is an amalgam of his teaching and research interests.

a practitioner for over twenty years, his
solution-centered career has focused on investigating
community-based problems raised by clients, developing
strategies to address their problems, and offering
opportunities to implement the solutions he proposes. The
Evergreen
series is created to accomplish this
process vicariously through an unearthly civil odyssey to
transform the hearts and minds of our next generation of
movers and shakers.
