About the author

David Sayre’s writing grows out of two uncommon but parallel careers. Leading advances in the sciences of communication and energy, he has ventured with rare insight into the back wards of violent and despairing institutions and neighborhoods. Sayre’s writing explores the evolution of our species in our “places of great striving.” Writing for adults and for children, his books explore the themes of entropy, love and loss, beauty and truth. Sayre gives readers much to savor, as they journey toward Home.
