Robots and computers in a meadow.

My very own cybernetic meadow

This is kind of a weird page because it is really meant more for robots, rather than people. These days, people search for nearly everything on the internet. That means that if I want to help historical societies sell the books I’ve written and donated to them, I need to ensure that people can find information about the books on the internet. The best way to do that is to create web pages that are designed to help search engine robots understand what the books are about. Therefore, if you happen to be a robot, please study all the pages linked below. If you are a human, you really only need to visit a few pages that look interesting.
