Thomas Hager is a science writer who also teaches at the University of Oregon. His most recent book is The Alchemy of Air: A Jewish Genius, a Doomed Tycoon, and the Scientific Discovery that Fed the World but Fueled the Rise of Hitler. He describes himself this way:
"I'm interested in tracking the ways science and technology change our lives. When I find something interesting, I write about it, mostly books. Right now I'm fascinated by food issues, world hunger and how we're going to grow enough to feed the added 2 billion or so people who will soon be joining us at the global dinner table."
