Miller Moseley was a graduate student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the 1940s and came with Professor Nathan Rosen on the liquid thermal diffusion project being carried out at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C under the direction of Philip Abelson.

Author Information

Stella Brooks found the inspiration to step out of her comfort zone and into the world of writing upon learning of Dr. Harrison Miller Moseley. Moseley, a man of historical significance, had gone unnoticed for years. After studying his personality and life, she was able to understand his responses, his choices and his silence. Brooks brings to life the emotional and personal journey of a young boy, Harrison Miller Moseley, as he works to turn his losses into becoming a self-sufficient man through academics and football. Miller's senior year, 1938, would test him mentally and physically. Drawing from her numerous exclusive one-on-one recorded visits with Miller, and extensive research, Stella manages to show Miller's emotional side as well as his achievements in the classroom, the football field and during his scientific work on the Manhattan Project. She was honored with the first and only lengthy interview Miller ever gave detailing his phenomenal achievements and inspirational courage. He vividly described his fantastic life working in the world's most famous laboratory with new details not previously known. His wonderful dry humor and personality brought a special sentiment to his inspirational life. Additional extensive interviews with Miller's childhood friends from the orphanage ―Richard Opperman, Tom Brady, Horace McHam, and Bruce Riddle―are included. Stella has two children and lives in Fort Worth, Texas. This is her first book.
