`There are few people that I would trust to hold up an umbrella and lead people to their varying destinations, but Bill Lucas can do this even for people, perhaps especially for people, who don`t know where they`re headed and where they might end up. But armed with an insatiable curiosity about people, life and learning, Bill gives us new clues, provides us with helpful constructs and tells us some charming stories, all of which become our aids and friends as we battle to make sense of the crazy world around us and build our own futures.`
