About the Author

Boots LeBaron is an award-winning writer, essayist and poet. Born in Hollywood, Calif., he was raised by a single-parent mother (Thelma) and the Hall-of-Fame stuntman father (Bert) she divorced twice. His first newspaper job was working as a copyboy for the Los Angeles Times. Eventually he was promoted to staff writer in the newspaper's fledgling TV department. He quit that job to join the police beat covering crime working out of LAPD's Parker Center. In 1962 he left The Times to promote the Seattle World's Fair. As a writer-publicist, he handled the 1964 kickoff for the Beatles first concert tour in the U.S. For the California State Park Commission he created five slogans including "Give A Hoot, Don't Pollute!" He publicized the new Universal City Studio tour center, handled a variety of TV series and movies, represented Henry Mancini, The Ringling Bros. & Barnum & Bailey Circus, The Chrysler Corp., Caesars Palace, Circus-Circus casino, and introduced the nation's first computerized supermarket. A former child actor, Boots has spent the past 30 years as a freelance writer publishing about 2,000 human-interest stories and essays in newspapers and magazines. During that time, he won a Writer's Digest award and was nominated three times for a Pulitzer Prize. His most memorable reporting job was working on the police-beat at LAPD's Parker Center. "Covering crime before the Miranda Act," he said, "working with a bunch of journalistic dinosaurs from five daily newspapers was an adventure I will forever cherish. " The Daily Breeze, a Los Angeles Copley newspaper, published more than 840 of his freelance human-interest articles. In his early 80s, he is still publishing and even illustrating his prose. Married for more than 50 years, he and his wife JoAnne have three grown children and four grandchildren

"The Human Race" is truly a very well written book of what ,who ,and why we are what we are, very well thought out and people were very well interviewed. Boots, I know for a fact, spent a lot of time thinking about how to write about his subjects. Very well done.

5.0 out of 5 stars An entertaining and perceptive view of the human condition
Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2014
Boots has a genuine interest in a wide variety of people and in each individual's unique "story". He has an ability to combine their stories with his own life experiences to arrive at some interesting universal truths about the human struggle. He uses his journalistic skills to present these thoughts in a readable, entertaining and somehow optimistic manner.
In my years as a practicing psychologist, I saw the value to people in knowing that their challenges are not really unique, but a part of the human condition.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Human Race Captures The Human Experience, August 14, 2014 By L. Pye
Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2014
The Human Race by Boots LeBaron is a truly delightful and inspirational read. It is so refreshing to read a book that recognizes
and acknowledges the everyday person. Boots shows that everyone is important in their own unique way no matter where they
came from or how rich or successful they may be. Inside we are all human with the same basic needs and wants. This book touches
the soul. Anyone who can appreciate the triumph of the human spirit will thoroughly enjoy this book.
