Biographie de l'auteur

I was born in 1946, in Coventry, England. I have many interests of which are art, in particular sculpture, politics, and the more simple elements of mathematics are a few. My life thus far has had very little of any real note. I've made a number of sculptures, almost all of them wood carvings, and sold a few; a couple of inventions, none taken up. It's been that sort of life. On credibility tokens, I have a degree in politics. My view is that if you buy the book and it makes sense, then it is the sense that matters, not who wrote it. I am interested in history but am far more concerned about where humans are going than where they have been. My wife and I live with our five cats in Birmingham, England.
