The Quest For Speed - Simple Guides

Peter Gosling is an English mathematics graduate and writer who spent thirty-two years as a lecturer working in further education and at the Open University. In the 1970s and 80s he was heavily involved in the development of computer education in Cambridgeshire. On retiring he concentrated initially on writing books on computing techniques and running computer training courses, publishing over thirty books on computer programming, many of which were translated into a variety of languages. He also found time to write short stories, which he has read on local radio, and to contribute articles on general topics to a number of airline magazines and specialist publications. He has covered subjects as diverse as women's football, gliding, motor racing, and his greatest interest, aviation history. He is married with two children, and his daughter, who lives abroad, persuaded him to write his latest book, entitled How to be a Global Grandparent.
