About the Author
THOMAS MAIER is an award-winning author and investigative journalist. His most recent work, Dr. Spock: An American Life, was selected as one of the top ten nonfiction books of 1998 by the Boston Globe and as a “Notable Book of the Year” by the New York Times. Excerpts appeared in Newsweek, U.S. News and World Report, and it was condensed as a Reader’s Digest book. Maier also appeared on NBC’s “Today” show, C-Span’s BookTV, and served as consultant and on-air commentator for a documentary about Dr. Spock’s life, jointly produced by the BBC and A&E’s “Biography.”A paperback version was published in spring 2003 by Basic Books to mark Dr. Spock’s 100th birthday.
Maier’s 1994 book, Newhouse:All the Glitter, Power and Glory of America’s Richest Media Empire and the Secretive Man Behind It, won the Frank Luther Mott Award by the National Honor Society in Journalism and Mass Communication as best media book of the year. Excerpts appeared in the Columbia Journalism Review,Worth, the IRE Journal and the London Telegraph magazine. An updated trade paperback of Newhouse, published by Johnson Books, was picked by Entertainment Weekly as one of the top ten “must reads” for the 1997 summer season.
Since 1984, Maier has been a writer for Newsday in New York, and previously worked at the Chicago Sun-Times. He has won several national and regional honors, including the national Society of Professional Journalists’ top reporting prize in 1987 for an expose on police misconduct. In 2002, Maier received the first-place prize from the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists for his reporting from El Salvador on the plight of immigrant workers. He also testified before a U.S. Senate labor subcommittee examining the immigrant issue, and won honors from Columbia University for his “outstanding” coverage on race and ethnicity.
At the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, Maier won the John M. Patterson Prize for television documentary making and his documentary, The Mob, the Merchants and the Fulton Fish Market, was broadcast by WNET/Channel 13. He later received a John McCloy Journalism Fellowship to Europe, which is awarded by the Columbia Journalism School and the American Council on Germany. He received a bachelor’s degree in political science from Fordham University, and for three years, he taught journalism as an adjunct professor at Hofstra University.
Maier lives on Long Island with his wife, Joyce McGurrin, and their three sons, Andrew,Taylor and Reade, for whom this book is dedicated.
