As for titles, I have the following (first) suggestions for the history
series and wonder what you think.

   - Backward Glances
      - How We Got Here
      - The Way We Came
      - The Way Things Went
      - The Way Things Were
      - Water under the Bridge

 They all have merit. Backwards and Forwards? (implies history and future
possibilities).

Thanks a lot, Paul. It's nice of you to think about it.

I think the idea behind "Backwards and Forwards" has merit too.  But at
least to me it implies movement, thus "Going Backwards and Forwards" or
something like that.

My two favorites among the ones I myself proposed imply movement into the
future, at least they do so to me. To me, "Backward Glances" conjures up the
image of brief looks back while traveling forward. With an explanatory
subtitle at least, "Water under the Bridge" is not only a metaphor for the
constant passing of events and time and at the same time a metaphor for
sides trying to connect with each other, but to me it also implies forward
movement and the constant seeming repetitiveness of history, aside from the
ideas of unknowable origin and destiny. Too much of a Zen poet coming out
there?

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
