Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Peter Martin worked as a professional civil engineer for over 50 years starting in the days when calculations were carried out with the aid of slide rules and 7-figure log tables. During his career he designed and supervised construction of many bridges and harbour works in the UK and throughout the Far East, SE Asia, and Africa, living in the East with his family for 12 years. He has three grown-up sons and six grandchildren and now lives in a village near Glasgow where he attempts to keep the garden in some sort of order.
