Personal finance and investing have long been personal passions for John. He has been an active part of the Canadian personal finance community for over 7 years, blogging at Blessed by the Potato, creating spreadsheets and how-to guides amongst other commentary and analyses. In 2011 he started Robertson Investment Services to help investors move away from relying on commissioned sales staff to planning and investing on their own. Those experiences helped identify the need for the material that would become The Value of Simple, and provided a venue to test and refine the explanations and tools that form the book.
He has a PhD in Medical Biophysics from the University of Western Ontario, and spends his days as a science writer & editor for the Techna Institute in Toronto. He specializes in explaining complex topics – scientific or financial – for the lay reader, and has won multiple scientific presentation awards and the Macklin Teaching Fellowship from the University of Western Ontario.
Curling is a fascinating sport, full of contradictions, where heavy granite stones are slid great distances on ice but with such great precision that sweeping a broom across the path can make the difference between a well-made shot and a complete miss.
Learn all about this fast-growing sport with detailed instructions and explanations on executing the core skills, with light-hearted humour sprinkled throughout.
Perfectly suited for beginners and those looking to improve their game, this walkthrough can help get you up to speed all on its own. It also serves as a complement for a learn-to-curl program at your local curling club.
It includes explanations for why we do things the way we do in curling (such as current theories on directional sweeping), and will help you improve your game in this wonderful, quirky sport.
Written by John Robertson, a curling club coach in Unionville, Ontario, and a technical writer who specializes in explaining complex topics for regular people. Approx. 50,000 words or 200 pages in print (with pictures and illustrations).
