Dr. Vook, Ph.D Visits Vook New York City
I just had the pleasure to once again chat with Dr. Vook, Ph.D, who dropped by the Vook New York office yesterday. He’s hard at work on his upcoming TextVooks, which include the Civil War, World War I, Western Civilization and History of the Middle East. I can’t wait to check them out. If you haven’t had a chance to download his American History 101 TextVook, click here. Make sure you also follow the great doctor on Twitter @drvookphd.
Q. I see you have a rock ‘n’ roll TextVook coming out. Have you met any rock stars? Any interesting experiences you wish to share with us?
A. I once was invited to a party at David Lee Roth’s hotel room in New York City. It was me, the staff of CBGB’s and the gentlemen who went on to found the Blue Man Group. That was an interesting experience, to say the least.
Q. You also have a Middle East TextVook … how exciting. What marvels of the world have you seen while you were visiting?
A. The list is too long but here it goes: the Hanging Gardens of Bablyon, the Pyramids, the Wailing Wall and the tallest building in the world in Dubai. Did you know that coffee, toothpaste and the celestial globe were invented in the Middle East?
Q. I am really excited to read your Psychology Vook. Have you met Jung or Freud? Were they cool guys?
A. All of the above. Cool yes, but I generally think psychology is overrated, like home cooking and the FBI.
Q. Did you get up to any adventures while you’re here in New York City?
A. I visited the Morgan Library this morning and checked out the Guttenberg Bible, seems relevant to this Vook project, would you agree? By the way, Vook is the digital printing press.
Q. Anything else you wish to share about what you have been up to since we last chatted?
A. Did you know that New York City was briefly the U.S. capital from 1789-90 and that Central Park in the middle of Manhattan covers a larger area than the principality of Monaco?
Thank you, Doctor.
