Century of Growth
by Dean Hannotte, Ann Agranoff
What happens when two childhood friends go off to college and lose touch, but then find each other after fifty years? What will they learn by comparing notes -- after a century of growth? "The broad range of ideas, viewpoints and experiences in this conversation establishes relevance and significance, but there is a second achievement that makes this a document of unique importance. The conversation is a dramatic embodiment of the engagement of two contrasting minds in the process of psychological growth through each other." -- Michael Ballin, Associate English Professor Emeritus, Wilfred Laurier University "I'm literally hooked on your book!!!!! I love how you express your point of views and smoothly move from one subject to another. It's also amazing how you share your personal stories with each other. The more I read the more I become eager to learn about you and Ann. I've never talked to Ann or met her but reading your conversation made me feel like I've known her for a thousand years. Bravo, papa habibi." -- Sarra Romdhane
