| Introduction | I am a science writer, with 16 books published. The blog linked here relates to my passion for spiders and my book on the topic. My website acts as a blog for my research into the memory systems of non-literate cultures and the application to archaeology. My PhD looks at the way oral cultures memorise vast stores of knowledge about the natural sciences and new insights into the purpose of prehistoric monuments including Stonehenge. My 2015 academic book on the topic was published by Cambridge University Press. "The Memory Code", was published by Allen & Unwin (Australia and Pacific) in July 2016, Atlantic Books (UK and Europe) and Pegasus Books (North America) in 2017. Now "Memory Craft" has been published - how to use the best memory methods from the past. |
