Jeanne Cavelos is a writer, editor, scientist, and teacher-but
first and foremost, a "Star Wars "fan. She first saw "Star Wars "at
age seventeen, and the opening shot, in which a huge star destroyer
flies endlessly out of the screen, sent her heart racing. The "Star
Wars" films fueled Jeanne's interest in space exploration and the
possibility of alien life.
Jeanne began her professional life as an astrophysicist and
mathematician, teaching astronomy at Michigan State University and
Cornell University and working in the Astronaut Training Division
at NASA's Johnson Space Center. She is also the author of "The
Science of The X-Files. "
"Crisp, conversational...intelligent...one of the more valuable
spin-offs of the popular TV series." --"Publishers Weekly "on "The
Science of the X-Files."
"Highly readable...Anyone interested in cutting-edge science,
bizarre facts, or just really gross stuff-even if they don't know
Scully from Mulder-is sure to savor "The Science of the X-Files.""
--"Dark Echo"
