About the Book

This autobiographical odyssey seeks in places of great striving a "rational faith"-one true to both our highest religious ideas and our advancing sciences. As founder of both charitable and technical businesses, the author leads us to places of the greatest despair and the greatest power on earth. There we meet amazing examples of good and evil, interwoven with contemporary scientists' own searches for meaning, explaining faith and love, truth and life, time and order and beauty. The things we hold sacred are real, after all. For readers unfulfilled by either conventional religions or scientific materialism; parents, teachers, and leaders struggling to reconcile peace with power and beauty with truth.

About the Author :
David Sayre (Dayton) works full-time developing “microgrids” in low-income neighborhoods. He has been called the “father of the industry” at national energy services conferences, has patented and published techniques of communication and energy efficiency that anticipated today’s cell phone networks and energy-saving industry, and formed a dozen companies―profit and nonprofit―around these two sciences that displace “entropy.” Sayre’s work has taken him to places and encounters that few of us experience―prisons and mental institutions, cathedrals and laboratories, the Pentagon and the White House, neighborhoods of the very rich and the very poor. The mix of those encounters with those sciences has suggested a rational moral compass and a way to comfort. Sayre is the father of five children, eight grandchildren, and four books: The Great Improbability (Peter E. Randall Publisher, 2010), a science-fiction mystery novel; Something There Is (Peter E. Randall Publisher, 2014), a series of letters to our children, seeking a rational faith; Flatland, with award-winning children’s illustrator Rebecca Emberley (Two Little Birds Books, 2014), recommended by Parents’ Choice Awards; and The Flatland Dialogues (Peter E. Randall Publisher, 2017). Evan Robertson is a self-taught illustrator living in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, who focuses on bringing great language to life. As a student of classic literature at Yale and of drama at the Juilliard School, he is inspired by beautiful language that has stood the test of time. He has partnered with the Library of Congress, the Museum of Modern Art, Penguin Random House, Doubleday, Abrams Books, Barnes & Noble, and Indigo Books. His work is available through his creative studio, Obvious State (obviousstate.com).
