Apart from many other hobbies - music, winemaking, mycology etc. - I write about electronics. My area of specialism is analog, covering dc to 2GHz. I have had numerous articles published in ELECTRONICS WORLD, many republished in book form, see below. Electronics World was founded originally about 90 years ago as "The Marconigraph", but known for most of those years as "WIRELESS WORLD". In addition, I occasionally write for other magazines, under the same or other pen names:- Ian March, Ben Sullivan, Point Contact, Hot Electron, Alf. A. Particle. I also write books on electronics, all (except as stated) published by Newnes/Butterworth-Heinemann, part of Elsevier Limited, and a list of these is shown below. I have prepared PowerPoint presentations on various topics. Those presently available include "Wrest Park", "London's transport in the 1930s", "The Organ, from Archimedes to modern times" for general audiences, and for technical audiences, "Frequency" and "The Admiralty Handbooks of WT and other historic textbooks". Other presentations in course of preparation include "The Queen Anne Fifty Churches" and "Jenner and the death of smallpox".
