From the Author:
I am a scientist by profession. During my career I have authored more than twenty published scientific reports. My books on pool are the result of more than 40 years of observation, participation, and experimentation. In my books I focus on scientific reasoning as opposed to unverified opinion in developing and explaining the concepts of pool. Although scientific principals are followed, the books are written in easy to understand layman's terms. My constant underlying objective is to present knowledge that will improve the readers pool game.
