Bob Doti had thirty-six years of experience as a chemist and as an adjunct professor in college. Bob is making a career change and is working on his master of arts in history at SNHU. He has been active in volunteering as a driver for Meals on Wheels and working for St. Vincent DePaul’s food bank. Bob is a passionate advocate for the value of historical education and views his book as a sample of the questions that historians can raise. He feels that chemistry is a central hard science, such as biology, and that history is a central social science for cultural studies. So this is a voice and perspective that only a scientist can bring to history
