Biografía del autor
David Quarmby is himself quite a trailblazer. Born in Huddersfield, he studied physics at University College London and went on to gain a doctorate in 'Pattern Recognition using Living Machines'. He worked as a lecturer at Loughborough University and in the 1980s helped set up an innovative electronics company on campus, Loughborough Sound Images, which created one of the world s first speech synthesisers. After his retirement from the company, David Quarmby went to live in Edinburgh with his wife, Rhoda, where he now lives. He has an old shepherd's cottage in the nearby Scottish Borders where he is able to view night skies that are almost entirely free of light pollution.
