Notă biografică

Philadelphia-born Nelson H. Lawry holds a PhD in cell biology from the City University of New York. Thereafter he received a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellowship to conduct research at the University of Rochester. Lawry has been a columnist for two newspapers, writing on local history, the history of technology, and the freshwater environment. For his lengthy feature article on the rapacious harvesting of the New Hampshire coastal virgin forest, he won the 1993 John M. Collier Award for Forest History Journalism. Both solely and collaborating with others, he has researched and written extensively on American and British harbor defense and coast artillery. Timber boxed pony truss bridges are rare survivors of time that have also piqued his writing interest. An avid photographer, Nelson Lawry resides in rural New Hampshire.
