The author of this book is Dr. Anthony Rodriguez. After fleeing Cuba as a teenager in the early 60s, Dr. Rodriguez studied in the United States, worked in Corporate America, and became a successful entrepreneur. Most recently, he taught undergraduate courses at the University of Phoenix in Jersey City and at LIM College in Manhattan. Nowadays, he is engaged in research and writing about myriad topics. As a business person, he traveled all over the world; as a private pilot, he circled the Big Apple; and, as a scuba diver, he eye-balled sharks in the Florida Keys.
