My original motivation for developing this information and discovery resource was to attempt to assemble, in one place, a broad panorama of the players, problems and issues affecting the world community. It has been and continues to be a singular learning experience.

I first began working on this during the winter and spring of 2000-2001. Very little of what I was discovering was being given common media talk or even the occasional 'special feature' status, except perhaps, once in awhile, you might see a documentary on T.V. or read an expose in a magazine or national newspaper. But on 9/11, the 'out there' world became not only 'here' but 'everywhere.' Afterwards I realized that this personal research project had suddenly become relevant and possibly even useful as a means towards a broader understanding of what's going on in the world.

A Global Digest utilizes the nature, architecture and mode of the WEB to consolidate the social forces of world activity in a single location, presenting the main intertwining threads as a picture of the world taken as a whole.
