#2. Research the author of this book. Find out everything you can about him and compose a short (no longer than two pages) biography of him. From what you have learned about the author, what can you deduce and infere about him? Why do you think he wrote this book? Describe what his biases might be and how do they affect the book? What would you ask him if you could talk to him? The biography section should not be longer than two pages, so the entire biography and analysis report should be no longer than four pages.
