"Enjoyable book for what is, no doubt, a somewhat niche target audience. The author has a very approachable, fireside-like way of communicating which made what is ordinarily pretty dense stuff far more digestible. A little too much promotion of BNEF, "

Solar Power Finance Without The Jargon (second Edition):
"Fantastic read if you want to get to know the renewables and PV industry in particular to know better. This applies for both laypeople and experts. Tons of valuable knowledge (it may depreciate within years though), surprisingly much fun (she seems t"

| Well, this was amazing though I am not sure I'll be able to bring myself to re-read it. While others might nitpick factual errors, I think it's surprisingly accurate about how a modern pandemic would play out (there really is not much new under the s ...more | |

| I liked Zelu a lot. She's so spiky, and her world is fully realised and very interesting, and not afraid to be problematic. Her family are so well drawn in their combination of valid concerns, real love, and fear of change even when Zelu desperately ...more | |

| The information in this book is very interesting, but the writing is dire, repetitive and uninspired, and the entire book is therefore much longer than it needs to be. How many times do we need to be told that salting fish requires a lot of salt? Or ...more | |

A difficult book to review, but after a few weeks it has lingered with me, so here goes. What was good: the unflinching portrayal of characters - Aster and Giselle particularly - as victims but also people with agency, people totally capable of messin ...more |

| I feel bad for not liking this more, because in some respects it is very realistic - academic intrigue and a relationship where the miscommunications are very human, and therefore pretty stupid. My favourite bit was when Pleiti, who clearly struggles ...more | |

This contained a lot of sheep facts, and unsurprisingly was devoted to the large role that sheep, wool and fabric has had in the development of human civilisation. It is a short book so it seems churlish to quibble about the pacing. But it spends mos ...more |

“There is nothing so moving - not even acts of love or hate - as the discovery that one is not alone.”

― The Territorial Imperative: A Personal Inquiry Into the Animal Origins of Property and Nations
“Man is neither unique nor central nor necessarily here to stay. But he is a product of circumstances special to the point of disbelief. And if man in his current predicament seeks a fair mystique to see him through, then I can only suggest that he consider his genes. For they are marked. They are graven by luck beyond explanation. They are stamped by forces that we shall never know. But even so, in the hieroglyph of the human emergence certain symbols must stand for all to read: Change is the elixir of the human circumstance, and acceptance of challenge the way of our kind. We are bad-weather animals, disaster’s fairest children. For the soundest of evolutionary reasons man appears at his best when times are worst.”

“We were born of risen apes, not fallen angels, and the apes were armed killers besides. And so what shall we wonder at? Our murders and massacres and missiles, and our irreconcilable regiments?”
