After graduating from UCLA (B.S. and M.S.) Zalman spent a career in engineering research and development. He now lives in a tranquil Wisconsin setting with his wife Sheila, and two dogs, Zoey and Molly. This tranquility allows imagination and thoughts to roam. His first book, Writing blogs and books has been the result of a wandering mind. "A Drinker's Guide to Pure Water--Is Your Water Safe?" was an attempted terrestrial wake up call to protect humankind's most precious resource. This, his second book reaches beyond Earth's limits to describe a time when intelligence and love ruled. He is working on two other books that will be forthcoming as his wandering mind permits.
