The Authors
Brian May, CBE, PhD, FRAS is a founding member of Queen, a worldrenowned guitarist, songwriter, producer and performer. Brian postponed a career in astronomy when Queen’s popularity first exploded, but after an incendiary 30 years as a rock musician, returned to astrophysics in 2006, when he completed his PhD and coauthored his first book, Bang! The Complete History of the Universe, with Patrick Moore and Chris Lintott. Stereoscopy has been a life-long passion, and his second book, A Village Lost and Found, written with Elena Vidal, introduced the genius of Victorian Stereophotographer T. R. Williams to a global audience.
