Autorenporträt

Mary K. Theodore - the daughter of immigrant parents from Ireland - received her BA degree in English from Manhattan College and MA in Applied Linguistics from Queens College. She is a member of the International English Honor Society of Sigma Tau Delta and honor society Epsilon Sigma Pi. Ms. Theodore is presently the president of TheodoreTutorials, a company that specializes in providing training needs to industry, government, and academia. She is the author of the chapter entitled "Domestic Solutions" in the Handbook of Environmental Management and Technology (Wiley-Interscience, 1993; the only nontechnical chapter in the handbook); coauthor of the unpublished, but copyrighted, work "A Citizen's Guide to Pollution Prevention"; and, coauthor of Major Environmental Issues Facing the 21st Century (Prentice-Hall, 1996) and "introduction to Environmental Management" (CRC Press/Taylor & Francis Group, 2009). The latter text effectively integrated the concept of "sustainable growth without environmental degradation" at both the industrial and domestic levels. Ms. Theodore is also a contributor to Luna, a collection of poetry, prose, and short stories. Ms. Theodore is currently an adjunct faculty member at the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT).

Since marriage and the birth of her first child, Ms. Theodore has devoted a significant part of her life to help solve the environmental problems facing society from a domestic point of view. A proactive environmentalist with no ties to any of the environmental organizations in vogue today, she has also lectured in this area. She was recently involved with the development of a nontechnical environmental calendar that serves as a consumer and youth outreach product.

Ms. Theodore resides in East Williston, Long Island, New York, with her husband of 53 years.

Louis Theodore - the son of immigrant parents from Greece - is a retired professor of chemical engineering at Manhattan College, Riverdale, New York. Born and raised in Hell's Kitchen, he received his MChE and EngScD from New York University and his BChE from The Cooper Union. Over the past 60 years, Dr. Theodore has been a successful educator, researcher, professional innovator, and communicator in the field of engineering. He has taught academic courses in environmental management, hazardous waste incineration, accident and emergency management, pollution prevention, air pollution control, and environmental health and hazard risk assessment.

Dr. Theodore is an internationally recognized lecturer who has provided nearly 200 courses to industry, government, and technical associations; he has served as an after-dinner or luncheon speaker on numerous occasions; and he has appeared on television as a guest commentator and a news spokesperson. He has developed training materials and has served as the principal moderator/lecturer for U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) courses. He has also served as a consultant to several industrial companies in the field of environmental management, and is presently a consultant/expert witness for the USEPA and the U.S. Department of Justice.

Dr. Theodore has written 121 text/reference books plus "Basketball Coaching 101". He is also the cofounder of Theodore Tutorials, a company specializing in providing training needs to industry, government, and academia; included in this TheodoreTutorials series of 21 texts are four tutorials concerned with the professional engineer's (PE) exam.

Dr. Theodore is the recipient of the prestigious Ripperton award from the International Air and Waste Management Association (AWMA) that is "presented to an outstanding educator who through example, dedication, and innovation has so inspired students to achieve excellence in their professional endeavors." Earlier, he was the recipient of the American Society of Engineering Education AT&T Foundation award for "excellence in the instruction of engineering students." Dr. Theodore was also honored at Madison Square Garden in 2008 for his contributions to basketball and the youth of America.

Dr. Theodore is a member of Phi Lambda Upsilon, Sigma Xi, Tau Beta Pi, American Chemical Society, American Society of Engineering Education, Royal Hellenic Society, and the International Air and Waste Management Association. He is also certified to referee scholastic basketball games through his membership in the International Association of Approved Basketball Officials. He previously served on a Presidential Crime Commission and proved invited testimony. His column "AS I SEE IT" - drawn from www. Theodorenewsletter.com - addresses social, economic, political, technical, and sports issues, and is a monthly feature of several Long Island newspapers, plus the Queens Gazette.
