Roger P. Briggs

From "About the Author", Emerging World:

Roger Briggs has spent a lifetime in the mountains of Colorado and

from a young age had a love of nature and science. After studying

physics and classics at the University of Colorado, he jumped into the

world of public-school teaching at age 22. For the next thirty-two years he

was a team builder, program developer, curriculum writer, and a beloved

teacher wearing many hats. During this time, he established himself as

one of the pioneering rock climbers of his generation. Since retiring from

the public schools in 2005, he wrote the book Journey to Civilization: The

Science of How We Got Here, a seven-year project, and he founded and grew

a local non-profit for public lands stewardship. Emerging World is the culmination

of his lifetime of seeking and research that brings both a cautionary

and optimistic vision of the future of humanity. Roger lives in Boulder

Canyon with his wife MaryAnn and two lovable dogs, Luna and Jasmine.
