Time Traveler is a first-person account of Ron Mallett's journey from a grieving son determined to go back in time to save his father to one of only seventy-nine African Americans with a Ph.D. in Physics in the early 1970s-and today, the leading scientist who is actually building an experimental time machine to test his breakthrough based on Einstein's general theory of relativity. Ron Mallett grew up in the Bronx. With his father's encouragement, Ron took a liking to electronics and science, playing with the gyroscope and crystal radio that his dad gave him. After his father's tragic death, Ron became absorbed in science, especially H.G. Wells's book on time travel. He began a journey of education, as well as research, on space and time that continues to this day. Both a heartwarming personal story and fascinating scientific memoir, Time Traveler is an engrossing read for any fan of popular science and biography.
