The Book Jacket for "Potpourri of the Mind"
Front and Back Covers
Contents of these pages ©2000, by Joel D. Ash
Front cover
The jacket and internal graphics for the book were designed by my son Kevin who is a professional creative designer. He has won a national graphics design award for each of the past four years.
A picture of the front cover will appear here shortly.
Back cover
The back of the book jacket shows a picture of me wearing my Dartmouth class blazer. The information on the back cover - - which may be somewhat difficult to read - - is as follows:
Joel D. Ash graduated from Dartmouth College in 1956 after majoring in art and psychology. He also holds a Master of Science degree from the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth. The author has traveled around the world extensively as an executive with International Telephone and Telegraph and as the president of his own consulting firm. Mr. Ash is now retired and resides in Weston, Connecticut. He has recently been designated Poet Laureate for the Dartmouth class of 1956.
A graphical design note:
My son Kevin did not design this website - - this time, my other son, Deron, who is a web designer helped me.
And a philosophical note:
Both of my sons and I are firm believers in the value of art as well as science. That view is expressed in the following stanza which is an excerpt from a poem entitled RENAISSANCE MAN on page 108 of POTPOURRI OF THE MIND.
