John Richard Stephens
I'm the author/editor of 23 books on various topics, but my main interest has always been science.
My degree is in experimental psychology with an emphasis on neurology,
Back in 1977 I began gathering interesting
scientific discoveries for a book I intended to write.
By 1990 I had the book laid out with the table of contents and could describe what each chapter would contain, but I had other
book projects that took precedence. By 2010 I had a few thousand pages of
notes—more than enough material for several science books and I finally had a chance to begin writing
in earnest. This type of writing is very labor intensive in order to maintain its quality and accuracy, and there's still a lot of work to be
done, but I really want to share some of it with you, so I thought I'd try
posting a few excerpts here. I really hope you enjoy them.
You can find out more about my books at www.JohnRichardStephens.com. Because of my workload, I'm afraid don't have time
to respond to comments, but I will read them and respond to those that I can. You can also contact me at John (at)

I'm fascinated by nature and the world around us and in us.
I hope this comes across in my blog. I spend at least a couple of hours every day reading
science books, articles, and press releases, and I'm constantly
amazed. There are just so many fascinating things out there that we don't hear about unless we seek them out. We really do live in a wondrous world.
