Blue Eyes on the Yellow Sea: Welcome to Red China (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781546238515)

Born in Compton, California, U.S.A. in 1960, Tad Miller has had a life-long passion for China. Notable characteristics distinguishing him may include his appointment to the Boulder, Colorado Human Relations Commission upon finishing High School. A graduate of the University of Colorado, he was Student Body President (UCSU Executive), earning degrees in Philosophy and Sociology, with graduate work in the Center for Social Values and Public Policy. Forming the Garden Alliance, he is often active in community politics. His career in non-profit agencies was work with people experiencing disabilities, mental illness, the homeless, orphans, and as a counselor to adolescents in trouble. He eventually made his way to Bethel, Alaska, where he was editor of the Village Voice newspaper in that region, serving on the City Council for two terms, Director of the AVCP Receiving Home (an emergency shelter for children), Secretary for the Alaska Associ-ation of Homes and Services for Children, Coordinator for the BCS Camai House for chronically mentally ill adults, and was host to Public Forum, a call-in talk show on KYUK radio. He is a singer song-writer, poet, and water-color artist. In his words, he remains "a servant practicing Christian existentialism with Taoist leanings." In China, Mr. Miller is a teacher, free-lance journalist, author, and volunteer while continuing "his attempts at music."
