Books

Welcome to the book section.

Below is a selection of books in my library. They are available to borrow at no charge except postage. If you live in Christchurch, you can pick them up :-)

I will be adding films, videos and talks at some point. It’s a work in progress, so feedback and suggestions are welcomed.
