The Very Big, the Very Fast, and the Very Small: The new physics simplified
Clayton Lagerquist is an amateur physicist with a degree in physics from Minnesota State University and a graduate degree in engineering from the University of Minnesota. He is now retired from an active career in health physics while maintaining his readings in cosmology, relativity, and quantum mechanics. He hopes to bring some of his knowledge of the latest findings in physics to those who are discovering some of these wonders for the first time. His candor about his lack of knowledge in some areas may spur others to investigate these areas in more detail for themselves.

Mankato, Minnesota; Growing up in the '30s and '40s

The ground, the air and the water are all alive with radiation. The years that follow will bring protests, investigations, denials, cover-ups, threats and lies. And then, one after another, people start to fall ill. Full Body Burden is a brilliant work of investigative journalism and a searing memoir. It is a book about secrets- the small ones families hide from each other and the eve
