About the author

---

Andrew G. Richards is an enthusiastic polymath who resides in Canada’s Eastern Townships, 100km from Montreal. Born and raised in New Zealand, the author has had the honor to travel, work, and exchange with people all around the world. The author worked in a variety of fields, dabbled in the arts and humanities, and somehow found a perfect home for such life experience in an engineering degree and career. The Book of =E= is an expression of immense gratitude to so many people, from so many walks of life.

One of the great excitements of the Book of =E= is the promise of what comes beyond. Many things fall into place, and even more, open up to immense possibility. Work on the Book of =E= began in 1996, and the ongoing and avid passion for understanding that drove it continues to burn fiercely. The universe is incredibly exciting and full of possibilities for humanity. In the interests of sharpening focus, particularly on the Newton-Einstein connection, much was pared from the Book of =E=. The cutting room floor is littered with additional material trimmed from the Book of =E=, and this is where this author’s tale heads next.
