On the Shoulders of Giants

The first book by Owen Connolly

Hi there, my name is Owen Connolly, and I would like to welcome you to my site.

I hope you enjoy reading about my book, On the Shoulders of Giants. I really enjoyed writing it and hope that many Dads out there find it a useful tool in helping them raise their families in today's ever changing world.

During the writing of this book, I was aware that some people would be infuriated and others happy by the things I have to say about us as a species. Those controversies aside, I hope that you have learned much and that you have taken away the idea that, even if every book in every library were filled with praise for our ancestors, enough could never be said about those great survivors.

I am confident, no matter what we do, no matter what our children are exposed to - be it painful suffering or other extreme hardship - the ones who have gone before us have left us a legacy of survival by their heroic endeavour and resilience. They have set the scene by improving the already flexible and able human being. They are the Giants on whose Shoulders we are Standing, enabling us to see further.
