ABOUT THE AUTHOR

George Harper has trekked into the Caura River country of Venezuela, instructed in arctic survival in northern Alaska, guided a survey party in southwest Alaska, and roamed the southern Yucatan searching out the homeland of the Mayas. He was an air route traffic controller with the FAA, then quit to serve a brief stint as director of a small observatory. In the process he taught courses in astronomy at several local colleges and still teaches on occasion at Tacoma Community College. On the astronomy scene, he has a rather detailed study under way touching on some of the unresolved fundamentals of the universe, such as what is mass, or how is an impulse transmitted through mass.
