Bob and Jody LePage, the authors, live in the countryside near Madison, Wisconsin.

Jody received a PhD in History from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1998. Her field is Modern Europe with a specialization in early nineteenth century France — and an overall interest in the development of democratic political culture. She is working on a project in African American history, contextualizing an oral autobiography with a wide geo-historical scope and a dramatic core where extraordinary events turn tragedy towards redemption.   (Excerpt)   Jody works a day job as a receptionist at a law firm.

Bob graduated from Marquette University with a major in Philosophy. Independently, he has pursued studies in Physics, Post-Modernism and Complexity Theory. Encounters with People and Nature in the course of four transcontinental walks further shaped his perspective. He is presently working on the "Some Stars" section. Bob is employed full time as a computer network support engineer with an IT company.
