About the Author/作者介绍： 安吉•巴汉姆（Andrea Barham），英国技术协作者。她认为世界应该对比错多。面对无奈的战争、贫穷、温室效应，她感到无力，棘手，只能在力所能及范围内推己及人。这已经是她的第六本书。

Andrea Barham is the author of The Pedant’s Revolt, and is a technical writer in the U.K. While she is a big fan of the world, she feels that there should be less wrongness and more rightness in it. Painfully aware of her inability to correct the bigger issues such as war, poverty, and global warming, she is concentrating on smaller issues more suited to her skills, which consist of “looking stuff up.” By correcting common misconceptions such as the belief that your heart stops when you sneeze, she is hoping to create a domino effect and that eventually all wrongs will be righted, though she is not holding her breath (which, incidentally, you cannot die from). The Pedant’s Return is her sixth book.
