Earl J SeeleyAuthors Pertinent Bio-Information: Earl J. Seeley, BA, MS, PhD (Age 79): He was born and grew up in an economically depressed area of Central Utah (USA). He worked his way through college, with the goal of becoming a basic scientific researcher. His A degree was received from Brigham Young University with a major in Horticulture and a minor in Botany, with substantial chemistry, and soil science course-work. That was followed by a MS degree in Horticultural Mineral Nutrition and Bio-chemistry from Utah State University.Following his MS work he was employed as a USU extension agent, and an environmental consultant for a company building power generating facilities in central Utah for four years. He then returned to USU, finished his PhD and joined the Research and Graduate Faculty at Washington State University in 1975.He was promoted to Associate Professor in 1980. In June of that year he left full-time employment at WSU and joined a private partnership, to develop and manage a large orchard in north-central Washington State.He continued, as an Adjunct Professor at WSU from 1980 to 1986, then as Adjunct Professor at Brigham Young University from 1987 to 1999. During the last 38+ years he has been a general manager for several large agricultural enterprises and an agricultural management consultant.Basic research, in both laboratory and field, has been an area of emphasis in his life for over 57 years. Research into the impacts of air pollutants, water stress, heat and cold stress on photosynthesis and cropping patterns, and control or remediation of those effects were central to his work. Additional significant efforts included, irrigation water use efficiency, integrated pest management, and pest control systems and safety.Frost control research, through the use of wind machines, or combinations of wind machines and under-tree micro-irrigation systems, was begun in 1978. His integration of various technologies in these areas has been widely adopted in the tree fruit, nut, and vineyard industries. Central to this effort, has been the need for, and understanding of, the multidimensional nature of the environmental variables involved in the control of earth's surface temperature, on local, regional and global scales.The above enumerated experiences, serve as a unique foundation for the author to address and write on the subjects you will find in this work. It is meant to be read and understood by the lay person. To assist in this, most chapters begin with a simplified "Synopsis". There may be portions of this work that will take some effort to thoroughly understand the principles addressed. If you find yourself in one of those places, continue to read and gain what understanding you can. A second visit to those sections, will undoubtedly increase the depth of your understanding.The first book in this series entitled: "Fatal Flaws; How the Assumptions, Materials and Methods Invalidate the Theory of Global Warming" has been published by Gatekeeper Press and is available in paperback and eBook formats from their associated distributors (Kindle, Apple Books, Barnes & Nobel and other book sellers).For more on these topics visit: Read More Read Less
