Glogowski, Ph.D. earned a Bachelor of Science from the University of Rochester, a Master of Science from Rochester Institute of Technology, and a Ph.D. from the University of Arizona. Living in upstate New York with his wife, Kathleen, he enjoys the company of two daughters, a son-in law, and an energetic grandchild. After 47 years of research experience, and having held leadership positions in several organizations, clubs, and committees, including serving as Town Leader for a political party, he considers himself to be a typical retired professional American.
Shortly after retiring, he ran in a primary for a town office against another candidate and came face to face with a problem that every candidate has to confront: The voting public’s apathy and lack of knowledge and understanding of politics. He lost. This motivated the author to use a research approach to study the problem of voter apathy. His goal was to find a way to get an individual to quickly determine for themself what they politically believe, then to compare their beliefs to the political party philosophies, and then to evaluate the candidates running for office. Dr Glogowski believes that with the proper tools it is possible for the voter to confidently choose a candidate that will represent the voter’s views on every issue.
He found a set of tools and tested them. Having presented the tools to numerous adult education classes, the positive responses motivated him to write this Political Primer.
The author believes that, by the time you finish reading The Political Primer, you will have an unambiguous understanding of politics, and its purpose will be clear. You will never view politics the same again.view less
