- JEFFREY KLUGER is a senior editor and
writer at Time magazine, principally
covering science and social issues. He is
the coauthor, along with astronaut Jim
Lovell, of the bestselling book Apollo 13,
which served as the basis of the 1995
movie of the same name. His 2005
nonfiction book, Splendid Solution:
Jonas Salk and the Conquest of Polio,
was described by The New York Times
Book Review as "gripping…and fast-
paced.” His first novel, Nacky Patcher
and the Curse of the Dry-Land Boats,
was published in June 2007. It received a
starred review in Publishers Weekly, was
nominated for a "Best Books for Young
Adults" award for 2007 and was named
by The Washington Post as one of the
"crackling plot and a dry, lurking wit," the Post went on to say, "And
there's another quality to Nacky Patcher that's as rare as
diamonds (although J.K. Rowling exhibits it, too): respect for this in-
between age group's intelligence and curiosity.” Kluger is also the
author of 1998’s Moonhunters (originally titled Journey Beyond
Selene), which chronicles the unmanned exploration of the solar
system.
In his time at Time, Kluger has written hundreds of articles,
including 25 cover stories, including: the 2003 coverage of the loss
of the shuttle Columbia; a 2005 cover story on Hurricanes Katrina
and Rita; and another cover story in 2001 on global warming,
which won the Overseas Press Club Award for best environmental
reporting of the year.
Before coming to Time, Kluger worked for Discover magazine,
where he was a senior editor and humor columnist. Prior to that,
he was health editor at Family Circle magazine, a story editor at
The New York Times Business World Magazine, and Associate
Editor at Science Digest. His feature articles and columns have
appeared in dozens of publications, including The New York Times
Magazine, Gentlemen's Quarterly, The Wall Street Journal,
Cosmopolitan, Omni, McCall's, New York magazine, The New York
Post, Newsday and, of course, Time.
