Über Autor(innen)

Wing, Charlie
Charlie Wing received his Ph.D. in oceanography from MIT, where he later worked as a research scientist. Since then his career has been explaining how things work--teaching physics at Bowdoin College, founding Americas first two do-it-yourself house-building schools (the Shelter Institute and Cornerstone), hosting a PBS series on energy conservation, and writing a dozen top-selling books on home building, home maintenance, and remodeling. Wing lived aboard a cruising sailboat for six years, during which time he wrote the first edition of this book on a solar-powered Macintosh computer. He is the author of four other IM books.

Charlie Wing earned his U.S. Coast Guard captain's license in the early 1990s. His frustration with available study guides led him to create Get Your Captain's License. A former Bowdoin College physics professor and research scientist for NASA, Wing has a reputation for demystifying complex topics.
