Author Information

Bill Swanson is an ancient, curmudgeonly former ink-stained wretch (newspaper reporter and editor) who for the past two decades has been the chief copyeditor of the Behavioral Sciences division of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (contractor, not a true ""Fed""). Born and raised in Philadelphia and its suburbs, he has spent more than half a century researching all kinds of stuff and writing about what he's found; he's an ""explainer."" When he and his wife aren't traveling around the U.S., Canada, the Yucatan, the Caribbean, France, Italy, Switzerland and the U.K., they live in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, with their two miniature schnauzers, Trip and Tallie.
