…up on the jukebox*! My last post here was a couple of weeks ago after I learned that the Mysterious Universe podcast had been talking about my new book, The Man Who Mastered Gravity. I contacted the host/producers of Mysterious Universe, and we spent more than two hours talking about the Townsend Brown biography and […]
As I was finishing up The Man Who Mastered Gravity in the winter of 2023, I realized I had a lot of ancillary material that didn’t fit into the book. The 2008 manuscript had several appendices that are not included in the 2023 published edition. There are also a lot of chapters that were excised in
