Writing this book has been hovering in my mind for years from 1965 onwards when I first landed in America. My arrival and stay in that country as a student for nearly five years was an overwhelming experience which shook up all my perceptions and world views that I came with. Since then, I have visited over 20 times and stayed in many American homes. I have been searching for words to express whatever I could learn about the U.S.A. However, now after 57 years at the age of 87, I have written this book which I hope will have value at least to those for whom America remains ever fascinating, revealing ever more transformative changes. I hope this brief account will serve at least as an impression of America, its past, present and conceivable future.
