AUTHOR Chris McMullen has written and self-published over a dozen paperback books and e-books. This book also was self-published using the same techniques that are described here. Chris McMullen, who has drawn thousands of professional illustrations from scratch using Word's drawing tools, shares several useful drawing and formatting tips.

DESCRIPTION This book begins with the decision to self-publish or traditionally publish, moves onto important information on developing the concept and researching the book's potential, provides a thorough discussion of formatting and designing the book interior and cover in both Word 2003 and 2010, describes how to convert the Word document to PDF, shows how to publish both paperback and e-book editions, and concludes with a detailed introduction to marketing that both novices and experienced authors will find informative and helpful. Formatting includes tricky features like how to use both Arabic numbers and Roman numerals in page numbering, how to have different odd- and even-page headers, and how to use Word's Styles and the paragraph dialog box for proper e-book formatting.

EDITIONS This book is available in paperback and e-book formats.

Chris McMullen is a physics professor at Louisiana's Northwestern State University. He graduated with a Ph.D. In 2002, he received his Ph.D. in phenomenological high-energy physics (particle physics) from Oklahoma State University. He got his Master's degree in the study of electron spin resonance at California State University, Northridge, where he was born and raised. His area of expertise is the Large Hadron Collider, and he has written multiple papers on the chances for discovering huge superstring-inspired additional dimensions at the LHC.

To convey his enthusiasm for the geometry and physics of the fourth dimension, Dr. McMullen created The Graphic Guide to Extra Dimensions, Volumes 1 and 2. Full-Color Illustrations of the Fourth Dimension, Volumes 1 and 2, are two volumes he authored to help demonstrate the geometry of a fourth dimension of space. When Dr. McMullen first read Rudy Rucker's introduction to the subject in high school, he was enthralled by the concept of a fourth dimension of space. He was working on his Ph.D. at the time.

When Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos, and Dvali published a notable technical study motivating huge superstring-inspired additional dimensions in particle physics, the concept of the fourth dimension was changed from philosophy to a scientifically plausible science. Dr. McMullen has written these books for a public readership to share his enthusiasm for the math and physics of extra dimensions. May your consideration of a fourth dimension of space boost the dimensionality of your thoughts, is one of his favorite sayings.
