A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

A. M. Caratheodory was born at the time of the largest solar eruption ever recorded—a fact he discovered when he became interested in astronomy. After basic schooling in Virginia, he attended the University at Charlottesville, where he studied astrophysics. His work on mathematical models of stars received awards from NSF, NASA, USN, USAF, Bausch & Lomb, and others. Dropping out of school as a conscientious objector and peace activist, he was drafted. He enlisted in the Air Force, working as a microwave researcher, satellite track technician, medical corpsman, and janitor. After an honorary discharge, he worked as an observer, then research associate in astrophysics for a number of installations, including the MIT Cambridge Research Labs, Lunar and Planetary Lab, and the University of Arizona’s Steward Observatory. Returning to school, he took courses in psychology, biology, and ecology. On various research grants, he studied wolves throughout the northern hemisphere. Since then, he started his own business in ecological design. Finding that his experience followed Auden’s prescription for poets, he has written in poetic, as well as scientific, forms. He has been published in numerous regional journals; since 1984, he has worked only on book-length themes. He continues to work hard to keep to the dictates of Wordsworth and Novalis to be a good poet.
