I retired from teaching in January 2006.

• Two books I recommend if you would like an overview of the great discoveries in astronomy:
  
  • Big Bang by Simon Singh (published by Fourth Estate, Harper Collins, 2004)
    
  • The Science Class You Wish You Had - The Seven Greatest Scientific Discoveries in History and the People who made them by David Eliot Brody and Arnold Brody (A Perigee Book, 1997)
  
  
  

International Year of Astronomy (IYA2009)

• In honour of IYA2009, I wrote a few articles for the Thamesville Herald, a weekly newspaper published in Thamesville, Ontario, the town where I grew up.
