I was born in Brooklyn NY and moved to East LA when I was 3. Realizing that a cosmic mistake had been made, I spent the years between then and now rectifying the error, eventually moving home to the Eastern Sierras. In the meantime I earned a doctorate, taught college, and published several college textbooks in biology, anatomy and physiology, and human physiology. My lab manual and textbook in human physiology have been the leaders since they were first published and are now in their sixteenth editions (McGraw-Hill).

I always loved "what if" stories and have now written three, which comprise the Green People Chronicles. The first novel is Becoming Green. What if a new human species were engineered? This will probably happen, and that time may be sooner than we'd like. This is a hybrid work; part science fiction, part medical mystery, part thriller, part romance, and partly a homage to the mountains I love.

Becoming Green is a prequel to Exile at Dawn, where the Greens have been moved to an internment camp located in Aurora, Nevada, where Mark Twain panned for gold. Teenagers Tom and Gloria discover romantic love as they grow into Green leaders, and Tom's sister Lilly must deal with being a mom to the first Green child, the death of the child's father, and a love interest that threatens to bring genocide of the Greens.

Bootstrapped can be read as the third book in the Green People Chronicles, or it can be read first. Or it can be read independent of the other two novels. Immortality and murder; Pleistocene Eden and genetically altered future; Romance and responsibility are its themes. I've always been fascinated with the idea of going back in time to Pleistocene California, before humans arrived. On the one hand, scary megafauna. like lions, dire wolves, saber-toothed cats, and others would be all around. On the other hand, they'd never have seen a human and may not identify one as prey. Prey species wouldn't identify humans as predators either, so it could be a potential Eden for the first people to arrive. These are Zack and Helen, our time traveling Adam and Eve. Eden can't last, however, and those two must take actions that can determine the future of all humans.

I am very pleased with this book, I was so shocked that it was hardcover! It cost me 10 dollars more to buy the book like new. I rented a book here from Amazon and it was loose pages which I paid for hardcover and it had a bunch of highlighting. Im glad I made the switch!

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful textbook
Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2020

Authors definitely know more about biology than structuring paragraphs. You'll find yourself re-reading the same sentence over and over and over. They managed to make very interesting subjects feel very boring. Take frequent breaks and power through the sections that make you fall into a re-reading cycle, this POS saps your motivation.

2.0 out of 5 stars Innacurate description
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2019
The content of the book was fine as it was a required textbook for a class, however the description of the book is innacurate. I purchased the “paperback” copy of the book and instead of receiving a paper back copy (which is supposed to be bound with glue rather than stitching like most hardback copies) I ended up receiving a loose leaf copy. This means that the pages are not bound which would have been fine if the description had stated that. Will be returning.
