While this second edition of the autobiography of Stanton O. Berg's (Stan's) life and times, is also a short history of United States during the Great Depression and also the history of the development of the forensic science with some inclusion of Sherlock Holmes in that history. Stan's four years army service in the Counter Intelligence Corps at Baltimore, Maryland, and his weekend work with the Baltimore Police crime laboratory is reviewed. In looking back at Stan's forensic science career, one will find Stan handled one thousand cases, testified in legal proceedings over 350 times. Stan with his wife June, as his administrative assistant, attended 170 forensic science conferences in the US, Canada, and Europe. Stan often was a conference speaker and four times served as conference chairman. As Stan looks back at his career, he finds that, in some way or the other, Stan has been involved in almost every important case during the wild '60s and '70s-the assassinations of Pres. John Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and Robert Kennedy; Chicago Police shooting raid on Black Panther headquarters; and the SLA ambush shooting of Oakland School superintendent with cyanide-tipped bullets. Stan's career also consisted of much investigation and testimony in the area of civil litigation, gun accidents, and gun safety designs. This second edition of Stanton O. Berg's (Stan's) autobiography has been greatly enlarged and expanded from the first edition. The first edition had only sixty-nine photographs and illustrations while this second edition has some 156 photos and illustrations. Much additional detail has been added to the story of Stan's forensic laboratory and his operation as a forensic expert. Much detail has also been added to the descriptions of his most famous national cases. A table of contents has been added for the reader's convenience.

This book is about the author's mother, Ellen Florence Nedland, as the designer of her son Stan's life as a forensic scientist. The story really goes back to June 14, 1928, when Mother Ellen's son, Stan, was born in Barron, Wisconsin (Mother Ellen's only child). Mother Ellen was probably the single most important factor in her son', Stan, later becoming a forensic scientist. Mother Ellen started her son reading books at an early age and in early grades. This was a process that continued through grade school and later high school. Mother Ellen would cut out little strips of colored paper to resemble bookends.As Stan finished a book, Mother Ellen pasted it (colored strip) on a sheet of paper as both a record and further reading encouragement. Reading books thereby became an important part of Stan's life. Stan started with author Mark Twain and his stories Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Stan then moved on to the author Arthur Conan Doyle and the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes as a solver of crimes through science and chemistry and microscopy. The Sherlock Holmes series of stores stirred Stan's interest in what would later become his lifetime occupation as a forensic scientist, who handled a thousand cases and testified in the various courts (criminal and civil, federal, state, military, territorial, Canadian, and even a case in Japan).Mother Ellen also gave Stan (while a child) Christmas presents such as chemistry sets, and erector sets to further stimulate his interest in the sciences. Stan often says that "whatever has been his lifetime achievements, he owes most to his mother Ellen. Any failures are his own!"

Stan first met Marsha several years ago when Stan published a special tribute to the caregivers around the world. Marsha read Stan's tribute and also his reference to caregiving being God's hands here on earth. Marsha, who lives in Texas and was once a schoolteacher there and a lady with great poetic abilities, had a father who came down with Alzheimer's. Stan tried to assist Marsha with advice in the care of her father. Marsha, early on in their friendship, wrote two poems relating to caregiving and her father's Alzheimer's: "In Heaven, He Remembers" and "His Hands." Being the prolific and excellent poet/poem writer that Marsha was, Stan set up a page on June's Alzheimer's website to collect and publish Marsha's many poems. It is these many poems that now make up this book.

This biography has thirty-one chapters, over eighty thousand words, and over two hundred illustrations, photos, or diagrams. Billy Graham, the world-famous evangelist, once described his wife, Ruth Bell Graham, as the world's greatest Christian. Stan Berg, the author of June's biography, is convinced that June is the greatest Christian that he has ever known. June portrays the Christian love, the cornerstone of the Christian religion, always smiling, friendly, and dedicated to the Lutheran Church. One entire chapter of this book (the longest) is so dedicated in chapter 8, "June and the Lutheran Church." It was June's influence that changed the author Stan from a declared agnostic to a devoted and dedicated Christian. One chapter (chapter 30) tells the story of June's Christian love in the chapter on "June and a Little Girl from Africa." The book traces June's life through her early (Great Depression), middle, and elderly years, including her Alzheimer's years. Her many worldwide forensic-science travels are detailed. June and Stan traveled the world attending about 170 forensic-science conferences in Russia, Hungary, Austria, London, Edinburgh, Rome, the Vatican, Zurich, Canada, Mexico, and Dusseldorf, Germany. London was June's favorite city where she visited nine times and made personal friends of the Bruce's, south of London in Bexley, Kent. June also had an interest in Sherlock Holmes and visited his London haunts and twice stayed at the Sherlock Holmes Hotel. Stan often described June as his Dr. Watson for a lifetime!

The original condensed encyclopedia has been expanded from fifteen subjects to twenty-one subjects by adding six new subjects. In addition, the original text has been expanded with much new information. This is the author Stanton O. Berg's (former forensic scientist) way of providing and creating a handy form of a quick reference source or sources that Stan has found to be interesting, and these are subjects that Stan thinks would be items or subjects frequently encountered in the daily news media of our present-day world. Stan has selected twenty-one subjects that are not only interesting but are also the subjects that are most likely to be in current-day news items. (Items of foul language, bad taste, or anti-Christian nature have been avoided; Stan himself is a dedicated Lutheran Christian that talks daily with God and gives thanks for God's gifts to him.) Stan has tried to stay close to the facts on the selected twenty-one subjects but may on occasion inject his own opinion. Stan hopes that all readers will find the second edition of his Condensed Encyclopedia about the Basics of the World We Live in and Our Lives in This World will prove to be helpful, informative, and interesting to and for all.
