Douglas is an Aerospace Systems Engineer, author of a space advocacy book called "Turning Point" (BarnesandNoble.com & Lulu.com), global lecturer on how science, engineering & technology can be better used to help improve the lives of all people on Earth, & is the CEO of Cybernated Farm Systems.

The Thin Grey Duke represents an Open Source platform, where a publication is not necessarily the sole property of its author, but where the "author" is anyone and everyone who wishes to share it.

For me (Douglas) the revenue from this book (created by Ai: Absentia Industries) will help fund my global lectures, helping me get to more places and educate more people on Global Sustainability and what mankind should do to improve itself and the planet we all share.
