Omniology: A Unified Approach To The Study Of Everything (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781463790417)

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Daniel Schneck could easily qualify as a Renaissance Man: an individual knowledgeable in an unusually wide variety of the arts & sciences. He has the distinction of pursuing parallel professional careers in Music, Engineering, Medicine, and Law. He is also an active author, teacher, legal consultant, researcher, and philosopher. Dr. Schneck began studying the violin at age 5, gave his performing debut at N.Y.'s Carnegie Recital Hall at age 7, was graduated from the prestigious High School of Music & Art in N.Y., and went on to study with Dorothy DeLay at the Juilliard School of Music. Among his many musical credentials are the N.Y. Opera Orchestra, Cleveland Philharmonic, Oberlin Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra, New Hampshire Music Festival Orchestra, Alleghany String Quartet, and an endowed first violin chair in the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra. He and his wife, also a violinist, currently teach and administer the K-8 music program at the Blacksburg (Virginia) New School (www.new-school.org). Dr. Schneck holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, an M.S. in Aeronautics, Astronautics & Medical Science, a Ph.D. in Fluid, Thermal & Aerospace Sciences, and is a Licensed Professional Engineer in New York and Virginia. Following a faculty appointment at New York Medical College, he went to Virginia Tech, where he was Director of the Biomedical Engineering Program, and served on the faculty for 28 years before retiring as Professor Emeritus to pursue a full-time consulting career in the fields of Forensic Biomechanics and Biomusical Engineering. Among Dr. Schneck's more-than 330 publications are 21 books, including Engineering Principles of Physiologic Function (1990), Mechanics of Muscles (1992), The Music Effect: Music Physiology and Clinical Applications (2006); and SEARCHING (2005). The recipient of many distinguished honors and recognitions, Dr. Schneck is a Founding Fellow in the American Institute for Medical & Biological Engineering, which places him in the top 2% of Biomedical Engineers world-wide, and is a Fellow of the Biomedical Engineering Society.. But the bottom line, as his wife says, is that, "Dan is still trying to figure out what he wants to do when he grows up!"
