about this author

My real biography is way too long and complex for a few hundred words, so this is the reader's digest version. I've lived in Skaneateles, New York, New Delhi, India, West Springfield, Virginia, and for 34 years now in Durham, NC where I teach physics at Duke. I'm married (to Susan F. Isbey MD) and have three boys. We live with three dogs, one cat, and sundry transient animals of all classes.

In addition to doing physics, math, statistics, computing, predictive modelling, and geekstuff like that, I write. A lot. Daily.

I write magazine columns and articles, usually in the field of computing. I've written lots of "learned papers" in physics, mostly published in Physical Review. I've written two books of ...more

The Book of Lilith (Literature & Fiction)
1 chapters   —   updated 01/25/2008 08:32PM
description: Lilith was the first woman to be given a soul by God, and her purpose is to give all the rest of Creation a soul by means of her love, beginning with Adam. Adam has a job too -- to create the rules that define sin and bring about a world governed by reason and law. Unfortunately, Adam insists on being on top whenever they have sex, which leads to problems... Alternately funny, serious, and thought provoking, The Book of Lilith is just plain fun to read!

Whatever
you thought while you read it or
Wherever
you were, the book remembers, your memories pressed into it"   ...read more »

1888594 Hi Robert,
Just had to mention, I'm always appreciative of your comments in that God-Atheists group! Your comment recently about Paul and misogyny and the Bible was wonderful. It's so great to discover kindred spirits like yourself! Offsets whatever terrible AIG things are going on that day or whatever else. So, thanks much! Katie S.

276352 I'm not going to argue with Robert over Memetic Evolution, but I guess I've already started to argue with him over my latest book. Let's see who wins this one!
What we both agree on is giving FREE e-books to the public in repayment for what the public has given us.
