Reseña del libro "Going South: Stories and Thoughts from a Northerner's Career as a Southerner (en Inglés)"

According to the Bureau of Governmental Research, "Few people alive today have had as great an impact on New Orleans's physical environment as Bob Becker." In Going South, Becker recounts a lifetime of personal experiences with humor, self-deprecation, and appreciation for lessons learned. Turning back the clock to the 1950s and beginning with his early days as a newspaper boy in Buffalo, New York., Bob reveals the early interactions and experiences that helped to form his journey from the windswept snow of his hometown to the Big Easy, with adventures in the remote island of New Guinea and the plains of Africa. The many additional stories come from Bob's fascinating career, which has included being New Orleans city planning director, zoo manager, college educator, consultant, author, and chief executive of one of the nation's largest urban parks. His many adventures and challenges include planning the 1984 World's Fair, navigating the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, and confronting venomous snakes. Going South celebrates the legacy of an everyman from a working-class family who rose to prominence as a "mover and shaker" in New Orleans.
