I had heard that someone I was at university had become Science Editor of the Torygraph - but as you say, I had dismissed it as just a sordid rumour...

On the Moor: science, history and nature on a country walk

This is a lovely book. I really enjoyed it—partly, I suspect, because I have a similar sense of humour to that of the author and also because I am generally curious about life. [...] The author is good at explanations. I like that. Eclectic—that’s what this book is. And rambling—in a good way (after all, these are walks). I liked it. I hope Richard Carter is writing another volume of his thoughts. I’ll buy it.
