Description

As he approaches his 100th birthday, Rolf Lynton observes that his career in the social sciences taught him“it doesn't matter what the experience is as long as you experience it, because, lo and behold, it leads on to other strange experiences.” This conversation illustrates, with some of Dr. Lynton’s experiences - from his boyhood in Germany and wartime England, to the pursuit of education in London, Paris and Harvard. These experiences, and his sense of adventure, lead to a home in India, created with his beloved wife and fellow researcher, Ronnie, where they lived, worked and enjoyed life with their three children.
