Su creatividad, como la de todo gran innovador, resultó de la intersección entre la tecnología y las humanidades.

I was hired to photograph the team. I ended up in their bunks with no way off the bus. Two weeks embedded with the Northfall Falcons. Behind-the-scenes access. Career-making photos. Then the blizzard hit, the bus got stranded, and my heat came a week early. Nowhere to run on an overnight team bus. Nowhere to hide when four alphas can smell exactly what my body wants. And no way to pretend I’m just here for the story when I’m begging them to touch me. Vaughn—the captain who gives orders I can’t help but obey. Anders—the silent Swede whose intensity says more than words ever could. ...

Modern Man is a penetrating psychological portrait of a true genius and constant self-inventor, as well as a sweeping tale filled with exotic locales, sex and celebrity (he was a lover of Josephine Baker), and high-stakes projects.

His father conceived of the Brooklyn Bridge, but after John Roebling's sudden death, Washington Roebling built what has become one of American's most iconic structures - as much a part of New York as the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building. Yet, as recognizable as the bridge is, its builder is too often forgotten - and his life is of interest far beyond his chosen field. It is the story of immigrants, of the frontier, of the greatest crisis in American history, and of the making of the modern world.

When their teenage son, Nick, is diagnosed with schizophrenia, a tumultuous decade ensues in which the family careens off the conventional course.
