Sinopsis

Dead Aft to the Wind is the first of an adventure series that is set in the late 1700's about a young man, Nathaniel Kirk, who lost his parents at an early age. His adventure begins when he boards a ship called the Resolve where the captain takes him under his wing and teaches him all that pertains to seafaring. In the evenings, the captain teaches Nathaniel mathematics, a tool that would play a part when he discovers a treasure in the South Pacific. Amidst pirate threats, bounty hunters, and slave ship controversies, Nathaniel learns some peculiar equations along the way. It's a fun read for audiences from young adult on up. If you feel you had enough of math to last for a lifetime, it's easy to skim over the math part without breaking the continuity of the story.

Biografía del autor

Where to begin? My meanderings have led me all over the place but somehow I knew I would eventually end back home in the beautiful Pacific Northwest where I met my love, Barbara Diane, and am blessed with a daughter and son named Tessa and Bill, who have given us four delightful grandchildren. I have been somewhat of a rolling stone in my work career, but in due course I settled down and became a middle school math teacher a few years back, in the heart of Seattle. I am fascinated with ideas stemming from mathematics, which often lead me to interesting discoveries. I will even test them on my seventh and eighth graders at times. I do love the interaction between teacher and student. Most of the mathematics in this book was presented, at one time or another, to my students. During my summer break, I like to hike into areas in the Pacific Regions, to discover remnants of past exploits. I enjoy doing things with my family.
