Forrest Mims (www.forrestmims.org) is the most widely
read electronics author in the world. His sixty books have sold over
7,500,000 copies and have twice been honored for excellence by the Computer
Press Association. His "Engineer's Notebook" series of books
for RadioShack are entirely hand-lettered and hand-illustrated to re-create
the look of Forrest's own laboratory notebooks.
His work has appeared in some 70 magazines and science journals, including Nature,
Scientific American, Science, Popular Photography, New Scientist, Sky & Telescope,
Popular Mechanics, Physics Today, Electronics, PC Magazine, and IEEE Spectrum.
Forrest's consulting clients have included the National Geographic Society, the
National Science Teachers Association, and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
Forrest also teaches experimental Earth science once or twice a year at the University
of the Nations at their campuses in Kona, Hawaii, and Lausanne, Switzerland.
In 1993, he was named a Laureate in the Rolex Awards for Enterprise competition
for his efforts in establishing a global ozone measuring network that used instruments
of his own design.
Today, Forrest simultaneously carries out a variety of scientific and technical
projects. He recently worked with the Space Science and Engineering Center at
the University of Wisconsin to compare measurements of atmospheric water vapor
made from satellites and the surface. He is also a co-principal investigator
for GLOBE, a network of 8000 schools in 83 countries that involves students in
scientific research projects.
