Memoirs of life in Hawaii from an astronomer turned anthropologist and astrologer....
Doctor Robert Roosen served as a systems engineer for the International Business Machines Corporation, an observatory director for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a problem solver for the Atomic Energy Commission and a consultant to the Central Intelligence Agency before he finally learned how to mind his own business. His career has contained a series of new beginnings....
When Kilauea Volcano began the longest series of eruptions in recorded history, he was sitting in his easy chair watching the hillside from his home in the Royal Gardens Subdivision near the town of Kalapana on Hawaii's Big Island....
He was the first person on the scene to be interviewed by news crews from CBS and ABC television, and convinced them to change the emphasis of their reporting from "people frightened by the catastrophe" to "a celebration of the manifestation of Madame Pele'."
