ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Mr. Lambelet is a retired engineer who became a patent practitioner in an encore career. He was involved with product development in a pharmaceutical company of the Johnson & Johnson family of companies. One of the products developed by him, Dialpak®, is a successful birth-control package now in the archives of the Smithsonian. The impulse for novelty led him to seek a license at the Patent Bar to practice as a Patent Agent of the United States Patent and Trademark Office. He has written and prosecuted patent applications for a number of clients. All patents solve problems, so this is a natural domain for Mr. Lambelet to occupy. Curiosity about unresolved problems informs several of the essays in this collection of thought exercises.
Musings:
Vietnam, Conjectures, and More
Mr. Lambelet's interests, with degrees to match, range from physics to neuroscience. His main interest is in solving problems, however, which the twenty-three patents in his name purport to do. If you have curiosity about puzzles, you will enjoy the rifts on several subjects that seem to be unsolved conundrums. Subjects range from mathematical quandaries to the debate over free will. The chapters are explorations of a technical mind, not so much to present a solution as to discuss why they remain questions that intrigue others, not least himself.
The piece on Vietnam is a heartfelt attempt to reconcile that war with his own experience of it and to plumb its teachings for today's conflicts. A short piece on why diets are a bad idea completes an eclectic offering of essays on thought-provoking topics.
