About the Author
Lu Hintz was born in Brandon, Manatoba, Canada the youngest of six children with a preacher father and school teacher mother. His early life was during the Great Depression of the 1930s, then World War II, and then the wildly changing '50s and '60s. He was alway interested in how things worked and won favor with his mother by fixing anything that broke in the household. He started college in Electrical Engineering, then switched to the ministry. When not sure how to continue he entered the Army during the Korean war. This assured him college expenses with the G. I. Bill when he got out. While in the Army he decided the medical profession looked the most promising. When leaving the army in 1956 he finally settled back to Electrical Engineering at the University of Minnesota. As an electrical design engineer he saw the invention of the transistor evolve from the six transistor radio to millions of transistors on a microprocessor chip at his last place of imployment at Intel Corp. With his knowledge of German he was hired to work at Siemens in Germany to help them advance in the semiconductor industry. He and his wife extensively traveled throughout Europe and around the world. Being involved in the peace movement in the 1970s has brought about a keen interest in how people and societies evolve.
