Non-notable author; attempting to piggyback on the fact that he ghostwrote or co-wrote a book with a notable scientist. Orange Mike | Talk 20:53, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Also he has been involved with co-authoring "Laser: Light of a Million Uses" which is about the laser revolution, so to speak, and how it is used in our life. Here is a quoted summary "From check-out counter scanners to compact disc recordings to fiber optical systems, lasers have become an integral part of modern society. LASER tells the fascinating story--past, present, and future--of these remarkable beams of light and how they are transforming our daily lives. A new preface brings the text up to date on the latest laser technology. 44 illustrations.
Engrossing story -- past, present, and future -- of tools that use light instead to perform a host of functions -- from providing superb fidelity on CDs and conveniences at the check-out counter to transforming surgical processes and improving telephone service and TV reception. "A fascinating, comprehensive book for the layman. Richly, readably thorough." -- "Wall Street Journal." [1]
I wondered , if Leon Lederman thought enough of Teresi to include him on the cover of the book with the words "with Dick Teresi" to imply that he was some sort of co-author to such a great book; a book that gives an incredible view of paticle physics, then he might be an interesting guy. But, at this time I don't have a lot of information about Teresi and it would take time to put it together.
I am curious where did you come with Teresi as a the ghost writer for this book? If that is true then possibly his contribution is minimal. It appears that he does not have a PhD. in physics like Dr. Lederman.Ti-30X (talk) 03:50, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Teresi and his wife were both editors at OMNI magazine. His wife has a stub at Wikipedia. Ti-30X (talk) 03:57, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
