Hi, my name is Albert L. Bryant. I was born in Jersey City, New Jersey. I'm the fourth child of my parents, Elder and Queenie Bryant. My mother has gone home to be with God in Heaven. God in His glory took her home on Saturday, September 30, 1995. She is the reason I have been writing what God has placed in my heart. She has really been my inspiration through thick and thin. If my writing will bring people to God, then what my mother has left in me will be a blessing to those around me. I also have my brothers and sisters who I love with all of my heart: my older brother Raymond, my older sister Bernice, my second older brother James, who also is an ordained elder in our birth church, and my younger sister Cynthia. I spent most of my life in Jersey City. I grew up in the Church of God in Christ Temple, which is located there as well. I was a Sunday School teacher for about twenty-five years and I also served as the superintendent of the Sunday School Department. I served as the president of Y.P.W.W. department as well.

LEON THEREMIN led a life of flamboyant musical invention laced with daring electronic stealth. A creative genius and prolific inventor, Theremin launched the field of electronic music virtually singlehandedly in 1920 with the musical instrument that bears his name. The theremin -- the only instrument that is played without being touched -- created a sensation worldwide and paved the way for the modern synthesizer. Its otherworldly sound became familiar in sci-fi films and even in rock music. This magical instrument that charmed millions, however, is only the beginning of the story. As a Soviet scientist, Theremin surrendered his life and work to the service of State espionage. On assignment in Depression-era America, he became the toast of New York society and worked the engines of capitalist commerce while passing data on U.S. industrial technology to the Soviet apparat. Following his sudden disappearance from New York in 1938, Theremin was exiled to a Siberian labor camp. He subsequently vanished into the top-secret Soviet intelligence machine and was presumed dead for nearly thirty years. Using the same technology that lay behind the theremin, he designed bugging devices that eavesdropped on U.S. diplomatic offices and stood at the center of a pivotal cold war confrontation. Throughout his life, Theremin developed many other electronic wonders, including one of the earliest televisions and multimedia devices that anticipated performance art and virtual reality by decades. In this first full biography of Leon Theremin, Albert Glinsky depicts the inventor's nearly one-hundred-year life span as a microcosm of the twentieth century. Theremin is seen at the epicenter of most of themajor events of the century: the Russian Revolution, two world wars, America's Great Depression, Stalin's purges, the cold war, and perestroika. His life emerges as no less than a metaphor for the divergence of communism and capitalism. Theremin blends the whimsical and the treacherous into a chronicle that takes in everything from the KGB to Macy's store windows, Alcatraz to the Beach Boys, Hollywood thrillers to the United Nations, Joseph Stalin to Shirley Temple. Theremin's world of espionage and invention is an amazing drama of hidden loyalties, mixed motivations, and an irrepressibly creative spirit.
