Publications During my
career, I have written
over 40 books, most of them being environmental science and science
textbooks for secondary schools. These have sold widely in Canada and
the United States, as well as in several overseas conntries. In recent
years, I have left the commnercial textbook market to produce materials
that schools need but publishers will not publish due to the limited
market. This section lists those publications.
All of these
publications are available at cost. Please contact me for further
