Product description...

The Professor

These are stories of events in a fictitious university community in the Rocky Mountain foothills. They are loosely woven about the life of a ‘Model University Professor’, environmental scientist Paul Mandryka, affectionately known simply as Prof by students and friends. Fellow faculty member, Jedediah Williams, has chosen him for the ‘professor I would have liked to have become’, and has asked for descriptive contributions from other faculty members, students, and friends. Immersed in these chronicles is a continuing concern of Mandryka’s that he lacks the suitability to be a loving mate for a desirable woman. Numerous contributions from Prof’s environmental liaison assistant, Chris Baldwin, describe a variety of events in university community life, frequently humorous, sometimes provocative. Prof has become concerned with the public misinformation about climate change. He has become increasingly active in communicating the science facts and warning of the danger to future generations. Finally, we find the potential for Chris to become an influential participant in constructive solutions to the human-caused climate change that threatens to become the most damaging environmental problem in human history.

Author Information...

And There It Is! The author, Clyde R. Burnett, writing under the pen name Alex Cook is a retired physics professor and atmospheric scientist living in Gilpin County, Colorado. His thirty-three years of the column abundance of atmospheric hydroxyl is the experimental basis for the theoretical structure of the lower stratosphere and for the catalytic destruction of ozone at that altitude. And I’m reminded that Amy explained to Prof during his New Zealand visit that the Lauder scientists mostly lived in Alexandra, calling it Alex. And there was the town of Clyde a few miles up the Clutha. And a few miles from Mt. Cook, there was a Mt. Burnett. I wonder if that might have inspired the pen name of our author. His previous novels, which include descriptions of global warming science, are The Greenhouse Effect – a Legacy, Jason and the Grizzly, The Family Guide to Disruptive Climate Change, The Community, and Orbatz in the Everglades. His non-fiction atmospheric science book is Nature’s Greenhouse –Ominous Developments.
