Stephen R. Brown is a critically acclaimed author of nine non-fiction books on the history of science, exploration, and ideas. He uses a biographical and narrative approach to my writing, using the techniques of fiction writing to tell historically accurate stories. He lives in a small town in the Rocky Mountains. When he is not writing he's usually reading, mountain biking, hiking and camping in the summer, and downhill and cross country skiing in the winter.
Paul Caffyn: For many years a mining geologist in New Zealand, Paul's accomplishments as a kayaker are legendary. Since starting serious kayaking in 1977, he has racked up nearly 50,000 miles of ocean paddling, including first circumnavigations of all three of New Zealand's main islands, of Great Britain, and of Australia, the last a 9,600-mile solo epic. Paul has written several books, including The Dreamtime Voyage about his Australian trip, set up the framework for the Kiwi Association of Sea Kayakers (KASK) with his late friend and mentor Graham Egarr, and was for many years the editor of KASK's journal, New Zealand Sea Kayaker.
