The dramatic and inspirational first-person story of theoretical physicist Dr Ronald Mallett, who discovered the basic equations for a working time machine.
Ronald Mallett was born in Pennsylvania in 1945 and grew up in the
Bronx. In 1973 he was one of the first African-Americans to receive
a PhD in theoretical physics and is now a professor of physics at
the University of Connecticut. He has published many papers on
theoretical physics, and his time travel research has been featured
in the TV special The World's First Time Machine as well as in
publications as diverse as Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone and
New Scientist.
Bruce Henderson is the author and co-author of numerous bestselling
books, including And the Sea Will Tell and, most recently, True
North- Peary, Cook and the Race to the Pole. He teaches writing at
Stanford University, and lives in Menlo Park, California.
A fascinating man . . . mesmerizing
*Judy Finnigan, Daily Express*
This book makes for absorbing reading.
*Telegraph*
A hugely readable book, a fascinating subject and a delightful
story.

Mallett never comes off as a puffy-chested smarty-pants. His
delivery is humble, his voice enthusiastic, his optimism
contagious. For anyone, but especially for the aspiring scientist,
Time Traveler is a worthwhile and surprisingly entertaining
read.
*San Francisco Chronicle*
. . . Mallett is such a great teacher that the complex ideas that
shape modern physics aren't so scary under the professor's easy
guidance . . . strange, interesting and ultimately touching
memoir.
*San Diego Union Tribune*
