Podrobnosti o e‑knize

Perhaps because of being a math teacher with an avid interest in cosmology, the author has acquired an expectancy of alternatives such as "if not real, then imaginary" all the way to "if not matter, then antimatter." This has led to the "what if factor" demonstrated in his novel. "What if" (to the first power) a man can hear sounds emanating from paintings in a museum? To what end, you might ask: perhaps a hobby of cataloging masterpieces based on tones from one to four? But "what if" (squared), in the presence of a foreign object the original painting becomes silent, as silent as a movie poster or even a reproduction. What did the painting have that the poster didn't have? What, then, did it lose? Is this cause for alarm? In Shell Tones, it is!

O autorovi

Prior to his retirement from the education field, William Bailey was a math teacher, athletic coach and headmaster. He taught in schools from New England to Florida and, overseas, in England and Aruba. Upon leaving the classroom, he wrote Math Stuff; The Elements of Curriculum Reform, a book about a father wrestling with his son’s question, “When will I ever use this stuff?” Among the many virtues of his teaching career, he found encouragement and opportunity not only to further develop his understanding and appreciation of all the arts but also to measure his own abilities particularly in the visual arts and writing.
