ABOUT THE AUTHOR Nicholas Kollerstrom was a founder-member of Britain's 9/11 Truth group, 2002-2010, which drew him into the arena of 'conspiracy theory'. Following the 7/7 London subway bombings in 2005, he discovered a glitch in the official story of the trains that the 'terrorist' had supposedly caught on that day that invalidated the “official account”. A year later, the Home Secretary had to make an announcement in the Commons adjusting the train times of that day. This may have led him to compose the main if not only book about the London bombings in terms of what happened on that day, Terror on the Tube (3rd ed., 2012). For the last eight years, he has co-managed a monthly '9/11 KeepTalking’ group, a non-political current affairs discussion group. His enquiries into cyanide absorption on the walls of the German labor-camps seventy years ago had him thrown out of University College London in 2008 on the ground that he was 'denying the Holocaust.' Subsequently his book, Breaking the Spell (2014), on the topic, brought mathematical, chemical and historical arguments to bear on the subject and became a bestseller, as Revisionist Books go. Earlier, he had worked as a school mathematics teacher and, politically, had managed a successful Green party campaign, while living in Guildford, Surrey. He worked as its Press Secretary, when in 1989 the Greens came in second beating Labour and the social Democrats. His involvement with the Green party lasted about a decade. He has two degrees in the History of Science, the first at Cambridge followed by his Ph.D. at London, where he became a member of staff in the Science and Technology Studies Department. His research there has focused upon Sir Isaac Newton (see his nine online academically-published articles www.dioi.org/kn/index.htm). He was accepted as a Member of the New York Academy of Sciences in 1999, and invited to contribute to the Biographical Encyclopedia of Astronomy (William Hockey, ed., 2007), where he contributed the biography of Sir Isaac Newton. He has been a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society for several decades. He also published extensive research on the discovery of Neptune, including studies on the planet’s co-discoverers, Leverrier and Adams. Long ago, in the previous century, in his youth, he was interested in hermetic/alchemical matters, which some of the book titles reflect. Since 1980 he has produced a Biodynamic farming lunar-gardening calendar, For years he had a two-floor flat in Belsize Park, Primrose Gardens, but alas lost that following the property crash of 2008, and now lives in Walthamstow, East London.
