Prentice-Hall international series in industrial and systems engineering

John A. White has been a professor of science, technology, and society (STS). Trained in chemistry, he also has interests in literature, history, and Renaissance music. Raised in England, he has lived in Rochester, NY for many years. He is widowed and has two children. He is author of "Values and Scientists," University Press of America, 1983 (non-fiction), and various articles. Some of the thinking in this book overflows into his first novel Kevvy, where the characters struggle with the ambiguities in any value conflict, and with sometimes disastrous results. Beware, the author is something of an iconoclast and asker of questions. -Amazon
