Ron Mallett was just 10 when his father died suddenly. Devastated, he found solace in the science fiction of H.G. Wells, believing that if he could build a time machine, he could go back into the past, warn his father & perhaps save his life.
Ronald Mallett is now a professor of theoretical physics. Remarkably, this working-class African American boy from the Bronx stuck with his vision, overcoming poverty & prejudice in the pursuit of his obsession. This is the story of his extraordinary journey of self- & scientific discovery. With simple language & elegant metaphor he lays out his theories & presents the reader with what is an actual blue print for a time machine.A dramatic & compelling memoir, it is also a brilliant introduction to a riveting but generally baffling subject, & a truly inspirational account of astonishing achievement.
