His reply was, “I want to make it interesting.” In pursuit of this goal, Stuart has been an anthropologist, attorney, businessman, cab driver, Safeway checker, dishwasher, journalist, magician, musician, social worker, university professor and world explorer. He has been to more than 80 countries, and has been conversant in seven languages (Eng-lish, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Hebrew, Swahili and Vietnamese). His experiences include doing voter registration in Mississippi during the “long hot summer” of 1964, working on air and water pollution as one of Ralph Nader’s “Raiders,” doing agriculture work in South Viet Nam during the Tet Offensive, camping with Pygmies in the Congo’s Ituri Forest, representing African Americans in San Francisco in legal assistance cases and people from Guatemala and El Salvador in political asylum cases, interviewing the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet is his living room, working in Kolkata at Mother There-sa’s Home for the Destitute Dying, and doing dissertation research with Matses cannibals and five other tribes in the Peruvian Amazon. His academic background includes a B.A. from Stanford in Economics and History, an M.C. in Communications from the U. of Pennsylvania, a J.D. from George Washington University’s National Law School, an M.S.W. in So-cial Work from San Francisco State, and a Ph.D. in Social Welfare from U.C. Berkeley. His university courses have ranged from Introduction to Law, Social Work Practise, and Social Problems, to Film as Art, Life Stories, Religions of the World, and The Pursuit of Happiness. Stuart has played music with several small groups (the Roaches, the Bandidos, the Jokers Wild, the Market Street Subway, Redwood Hill, the Hillside String Band, the Bluegrass Friends and the Auburnaires). He has performed magic for more than 300 audiences, and is a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians’ Order of Merlin. He has produced 24 books, 4 mu-sical C.D.s and 3 Youtube videos (most of which are available on his website, Sierra Dreams Press). Stuart now lives on a mountain ridge overlooking Lake Clementine in Auburn, California, with his Brazilian wife Elsa and their German Shepherd dog Cooper.
