Alan Detwiler grew up on a small farm. The weather and the natural world are very much a part of living on a farm. On a farm, everyday observations demonstrate how plants and animals grow and develop and how weather and climate interact with living things. Alan and anyone growing up on a farm knows that our food supply is very much dependant on how much it rains, when it rains, and how warm or cold it is.
Genetics and disease are topics of special concern to anyone living on a farm. Farm crops and farm animals are not the plants and animals of the wild. They have been genetically altered by human intervention. Farmers are especially aware of those differences and how genetics produce those differences. Farm animals are in constant threat of disease. It is not uncommon for farmers to loose substantial numbers of their animals to disease.
Farm living, plus an interest in science gave Alan the background for writing Earth's Edge which examines drastic global warming, epidemic, and future science. Those two threats are very serious and are perhaps likely to drastically affect our lives. The consequences of either of those calamities are bound to be unpleasant, but why react with anxiety? Wouldn't a better reaction be to take action to be prepared and feel good that you have done so?
Alan writes to explore ideas and to discover ways to more enjoy life. His method is to use the ideas of others, add anything his own experiences and observations can contribute, and finally to use imagination to add new ideas for appreciating all that is good.
