    About this ebook

    From Saint James to Jim Beam bourbon, from King James to chocolate jimmies, from all the Jamestowns in the United States to one in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and from Jimmy
    Hoffa to Slim Jims with lots of stops between, this book takes on a
    jillion facets of Western civilization as we know it, all unifi ed by a
    common thread based on one of the most popular names ever given
    to baby boys. At times thought-provoking, at times downright funny,
    these lighthearted essays and observations are at all times lively
    reading. Being named Jim is not a prerequisite for enjoying this.

    Jim is an ex-professor of microbiology who is currently more interested in trivial pursuits than in wee organisms. He lives near Philadelphia with his wife and several hundred lively retirees. He has two brothers—one is named Bill; the other is not.
