Northern California-based journalist Peter Byrne has an uncanny ability to mine reportable nuggets of graft and corruption out of mountains of government and corporate records — not to mention human sources. He knows how to get inside the soul of self-serving systems — be they created by left-wingers, neocons, or non-ideologically-inspired
criminals — and find the facts. Byrne’s work has been recognized by the National Science Foundation, Society of Professional Journalists, Investigative Reporters & Editors, Association of Alternative Newsweeklies, California Newspaper Publisher's Association, Project Censored, American Institute of Physics. He is a member of the National Association of Science Writers, the Society of Environmental Journalists, and the Foundational Questions Institute. His books have been published by Oxford University Press and Princeton University Press. He hangs out at www.peterbyrne.info
