  Eric Temple Bell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eric Temple Bell (February 7, 1883, Peterhead, Scotland - December 21, 1960, Watsonville, California) was a mathematician and science fiction author born in Scotland who lived in the USA from 1903 until his death.
He published his non-fiction as Bell and his fiction as John Taine.
He wrote numerous science fiction novels under the pseudonym John Taine, which were well received at the time of their publication, but have been largely forgotten now.

 R.D. Mullen- Two Poets and an Engineer
In 1923, Bell's The Purple Sapphire, was accepted by Dutton for publication in 1924, as by John Taine.
As a boy, John W. Campbell (1910-71), the son of an electrical engineer, was "a ceaseless tinkerer with neighborhood bicycles and electrical appliances, an inadvertant destroyer of the family basement with the assistance of his chemistry set" (15).
Rukeyser's judgment was similar to that of Dutton's editor when that firm decided to abandon the John Taine novels: in effect, that they were magnificent in thought but not well-enough written for the mainstream audience, so that Bell would be wise to find a collaborator.

They are linked by a common concern with the interaction of the individual and society, and a common perspective that views economics, technology, politics and art as dimensions of social experience and expressions of social value.
Included here are profiles of such figures as Henry Ford, John C. Calhoun, Soren Kierkegaard, and Thomas Watson; analyses of the economics of Keynes and Schumpeter; and explor-ations of the social functions of business, management, information, and technology.

 IROSF -- Dinosaurs in Science Fiction
John Taine's The Greatest Adventure (1929) begins with the discovery of living dinosaurs in Antarctica -- but the creatures are more, or less, or in any case other than what they seem to be.
In Taine's Before the Dawn (1934), present-day observers follow the career of a particular carnivorous dinosaur at the end of the Mesozoic Era.
Just to nitpick, that's about 160 million years of existence for dinosauria rather than 140, unless you want to count birds (which wouldn't be a completely outlandish thing to do), in which case we have 225 million years for dinosaurs.

Shiel’s developing views are evident in five of his works from 1895-1901: Prince Zaleski, Shapes in the Fire, The Yellow Danger, The Purple Cloud, and The Lord of the Sea.
-- John Taine, the literary pseudonym of mathematician Eric Temple Bell (1883-1960), was long recognized as one of the world’s greatest science fiction writers, praised for his scientific knowledge and imaginative narratives.
While writers who published alongside Taine, such as John W. Campbell, Jr., Robert A. Heinlein, and Jack Williamson, have remained familiar to readers and scholars, Taine has proven less successful in keeping his name and reputation alive.

Under the name of John Taine, he also published science fiction novels (among them The Time Stream, Before the Dawn, and The Crystal Horde) that served to broaden the subject matter of that genre during its early years.

Except that the decade was redeemed with the 1950 masterpiece "Destination Moon", loosely based on Robert A. Heinlein's novel "Rocketship Galileo." Heinlein was heavily involved, as Technical Director, with this breakthrough, arguably the first science fiction film with realistic spaceflight portrayed, including the best moon walk we saw before Apollo 11!
