About the Author

About Maxwell R. WynterMax is about to complete his 7th decade and, in those years, he has lived a number of lives. As an undergraduate at the Mona Campus of the University of the West Indies Max's interest in Physics led to him receiving the department prize in 1974. He followed this with a postgraduate diploma in Applied Physics. This diploma was a step to a master's degree in applied physics. His master's degree project was to computerize the University's laser radar research station, at the time, the largest such facility in the world. The Physics department used this facility to research aerosols, fine solid particles in the Earth's atmosphere. This is where Max's interest in air pollution began. Then work and life got in the way. Max did not complete that degree. Instead, he focused on his work as an Electronic Engineer at the Gleaner Company, one of the world's oldest newspaper publishers. This is where his interest in honest, fact-based news was sparked, and he became a self-described "news junkie". Eventually he became the Managing Director and CEO of the Jamaica Observer, another national daily newspaper and competitor to the Gleaner Company.In between the Gleaner and the Observer Max partnered with a friend to start a computer company and then became the President of the Jamaica Computer Society. He left the computer company to become the CEO of Jamaica Digiport International - a telephone company. At the Jamaica Computer Society Max founded the Jamaica Computer Society Education Foundation with a mission of having a computerized classroom in every high school in Jamaica by the year 2000. This goal was achieved, and these classrooms were used to teach students computer science as well as math and the general sciences. At Jamaica Digiport, Max started a call centre with 15 workstations, a pilot project to show that this industry was viable in Jamaica. The industry now employs over 40,000 persons in Jamaica.While at Jamaica Digiport he was invited to be one of the first Commissioners of The Global Information Infrastructure Commission and sat on the commission for 4 years. In the 1990's he traveled the world speaking on the use of information technology in national development and in education. He does not consider himself to be a physicist, electronic engineer, computer engineer or newspaper publisher although, in his career, he has been all of those. Instead, he reads a lot of books, papers and publications that the average person cannot find the time to read. This book is his attempt to communicate important messages in one easy to read book.Max completed his education with an MBA and has strong views on business ethics, corporate social responsibility, our common humanity and the planet that we all call home. He lives with his wife Anne in Canada.
