About the Author

I have degrees in philosophy, law, and mathematics, and lifelong amateur interests in history and linguistics. I won a set of Encyclopedia Brittanicas in 7th grade for an essay on who the speakers of Proto-Indo-European might have been. In the 1970s I transcribed the Tanakh (original Hebrew text of the Old Testament, from the Leningrad Codex) into an ASCII file (with codes for the cantillations as well as vowel-points and consonants): all online Hebrew OTs derive from this file. In 1980 discovered an unexcavated archaeological site in Turkish Kurdistan. At present I tutor statistics and calculus in the Detroit are

About the Book

The Baths of Caracalla (Sequel to Year of Five Emperors)

Septimius Severus was the unchallenged ruler of the Roman Empire. In every direction he cast his eye across the frontiers in search of new territories he could subdue. But the one challenge that he could never master was controlling his family. His son was nicknamed "Caracalla" for the clothing from his boyhood which he continued to wear. He was formally named "Antoninus" in hopes that he would turn out like the Five Good Emperors of recent times. He preferred to call himself "Alexander": for he thought of himself as a great hero, destined to conquer the world. But could he ever conquer the spasms of anger that raged within him?

About the Book

The U.S. Leadership Program

After the loss of my daughter, I wrote a book called "The Medical Project," which was about fixing the medical industry and diverting my mind from the losses I and my wife were enduring. I am motivated to write this book due to the positive reception of my previous works, namely "The Medical Project" and "Self-Help and Mental Health Path to Wellness," which inspired me to write this book. Additionally, the lack of progress in the medical industry in harnessing the available computing power, along with other global issues that could benefit from computer technology, compelled me to undertake these projects. While this book is fictional, it contains numerous projects with ideas that have the potential to improve the world. Given the interest in adapting the first book into a movie, I decided that it would be prudent to write a second and third book in anticipation of a potential series.
