About the Author

Having started school early, through a socially challenged course of schooling with a classical 'nerd' personality, this author proceeded on to a technical college degree. Subsequent testing led to registration as a professional engineer, and another test to membership in MENSA. An ongoing career of recognized innovations led to technical writing and the personal multi-year project of writing "Energy, Environment, & Economy". This author has additionally a 'patent pending' for a new internal combustion engine design, and has also claimed his life's work may well be the design and manufacture of boat outboard motors.... It must be known that without the help of my lifelong friend, Howard Huegel as editor, this work would not have been completed. He added substantively to both content and format.
