Books
First of a few pages about stuff I've done - if I don't tell you, who else will?
Darwin Now
British Council 2009. This is the text of the Darwin Year travelling exhibition, but as it runs to 60 pages and looks beautiful, I'm counting it as a book now it has been printed separately. Not for sale but if you ask the BC nicely they may give you a copy, and downloadable as a PDF (see recent writings for link).
Dilemmas: Technology
2008.Evans Bros. A book for use in the classroom - aimed at 12-14 year-olds. It was tricky thinking how to discuss social impacts of technology for this audience...

Like it says, a Rough Guide. Co-written with Dr Jess Buxton, geneticist, science writer and wonderwoman.Engaging Science: Thoughts, deeds, analysis, actions

A
Wellcome Trust Project, aiming to sum up what has been learnt from the

A Quark for Mister Mark: 101 Poems about Science
2001
Faber, edited with Maurice Riordan. Faber, 2001.
A pet project of mine and Maurice's for years, which Faber finally agreed to let us do! The cover doesn't actually look like this, which has strayed onto Amazon and other sites by PTC2E (see Haroun and the Sea of Stories for expansion of the acronym)

Sci-Tech Report
1984 (no pic until I wake up my old scanner)
An anglo-makeover of a French project which I edited for Pluto Press. I seem to recall I ended up (re)writing quite a lot of it.
Ancient history; cool format for 1984.
