Dennis Richard Danielson

I grew up in Victoria, on Vancouver Island, surrounded by the ocean and obsessed with birds and fish. Perhaps this is what gave me my taste for awe-inspiring and beautiful things, helped along by my subsequent study of philosophy and literature, by the eventual harmonious influence of my wife, Janet Henshaw Danielson, who is a composer, and by John Milton, whose epic Paradise Lost spans the whole physical universe and then some. In any case, my teaching and research interests are now an amalgam of poetry, history, and science, with an emphasis on the literature of cosmology.
