- About My Library
- My primary training is in the history of science, but my professional career has been a mix of teaching, international development, and science & health policy. The library collections here are thus a mix of my and my wife's different professional and hobby interests over successive work areas and locations. At the moment I am researching and writing a book about the life & times of Nicholas Copernicus, which is reflected in the large number of volumes in the history of astronomy & mathematics. The fact that the largest number of book entries (and a handful of old reviews) all date from March 2020 is just a reflection that this is the date when I migrated everything from an older GoodReads account.
