For the last fifty years and continuing up through the present, I've been involved in various aspects of ecology and environmental science in both work-related and/or off-work activities. Because of a deep concern for my grandchildren and all younger generations, for the past fifteen years most of my time has been devoted to addressing the socio-eco-econ-ethical Crisis we're all facing. The solutions to the Crisis are known by the world's best scientists, but are not being implemented at a sufficient scale (or not at all) by the public and private Powers-That-Be. Let's change that situation via education and quiet, peaceful, ethical activism. You don't have to march in the street to make a difference.
Currently I'm working on a concept for a fourth book. When that's fully formed, I'll provide a working title here.
Happy Trails, and thanks for your interest in my work.
