About Stephen I. Ternyik

Stephen received his Magister Artium degree in Education Management and Technology Evaluation in 1985 from the Technical University of Berlin. Ternyik served as a visiting research fellow for technical creativity at Tokyo University in 1993, and is a 1995 graduate of the Henry George Institute in New York.

Dissatisfied with the analytical framework of the social sciences, Ternyik has employed the methodology of the natural sciences in examining the role of energy (natural resources) for human social life. The more advanced human societies become, Ternyik believes, the more they have to learn about the efficient use of natural resources.
