 Copthorne MacdonaldI am a writer, independent scholar, and former communication systems engineer. My interests include the nature of reality (including consciousness and mind), the development of wisdom, the global problematique, and the challenge of creating a sustainable future. I have written extensively in all of these areas, and my published writing to date includes 8 books and over 130 articles, reviews, and column installments. My 2004 book Matters of Consequence is a comprehensive map of the human situation that encompasses what is really important in life, addresses our search for meaning and significance, and deals with humanity's future in a positive solution-oriented way. (See my complete publications list at http://www.copmacdonald.com/pubslist.html.) I developed the slow-scan TV system used worldwide in amateur radio, founded New Directions Radio to foster socially-relevant communication, established a popular Internet-based compilation of wisdom-related resources called The Wisdom Page, and have done extensive educational work in the field of energy alternatives and energy conservation. I was a columnist for CQ, The Radio Amateur's Journal and The Mother Earth News. I was Associate Editor of the latter, and was appointed to the Editorial Board of Integralis: Journal of Integral Consciousness, Culture, and Science.Interests and Hobbies: Pretty well described above. My major focus at the moment is The Wisdom Page, described as a compilation of wisdom-related resources — various on-line texts concerning wisdom, references to books about wisdom, information about organizations that promote wisdom, wise activities, and listserv groups concerned with aspects of wisdom.
