Thomas M. Meine: The author, an enthusiastic archer himself, has written several technical books on archery and frequently appearing articles in archery magazines. He has translated the literary mother of modern archery, the book 'The Witchery of Archery' by Maurice Thomson, into the German language. In the book 'Archery Through the Ages' he resorts to subtle forms of humor, wit, parody and satire to pick on the many famous myths and legends of archery, within their political- and social environment.
