Welcome! See "Updates" for "Built-in Meaning" and news about the musical comedy "U.F.F.D.U.H.!!" produced in Los Alamos, NM in May 2007, soon revised and available as "U.F.F.D.A."
Summary Notes are now available from my UNM-LA course "Complexity--Simple Drivers in Nature." They include definitions of Complexity, Chaos, the common indicators and a Bibliography for the general reader. They are found by clicking on "My Writings," then the "Complexity..." title.
In addition to essays and book reviews, this site features excerpts from my novels, which have special appeal to women and young adults who like their aliens and unicorns challenging but accessible and their science fiction comfortably close to reality.
"My Writings" (click on the Main Menu at the top of each page) presents themes ("high concepts") of the novels and includes a complete list of my published works. Click on "Bibliography" for a list of books that have influenced my writings. The starred (*) books are especially recommended. Click on "Book Reviews" for a quick overview of recommended nonfiction. New reviews will be added as I find gems for non-scientists on chaos and complexity, cosmology, science and religion, and animal studies. "My Life" is a short autobiography. |
