    Marc Humphrey learned physics at Western Michigan University. At Harvard University he learned how to use it, and teach it too, and for that he received a handful of awards. His nonfiction aims to explain the workings of nature, in simple terms, to the curious non-scientist. His fiction weaves natural and societal curiosities into speculative plots – with lots of hidden meanings. A Michigan native, he currently lives in Vienna with his wife and two budding bookworms.

    Since 1990, Paul Pancella has been a professor of physics at Western Michigan University, in Kalamazoo, and also served for several years as chair of that department. Growing up in the 1960’s, he wanted to be an astronaut, until the optometrist prescribed corrective lenses. He maintained a strong interest in science, however, and received his B.A. in Physics (summa cum laude) from St. Louis University, in his home town. He earned a Ph.D. in nuclear physics from Rice University in 1987, and has published research from experiments on medium energy particle accelerators. He is also interested in renewable energy, enjoys classical choral singing, bike riding, coin collecting, and science fiction. He recently converted an old Honda Civic into a highway-capable electric car (www.evalbum.com/2224).
