Welcome to my web site. At present, this is exclusively set up to provide the opportunity to download my 'talks' and study notes that I think might be of interest to others. Previously, some of these have only been available in print. I'm providing these in a number of formats, including pdf, which is probably the easiest to read, but may not be the most useful. At present, there are a considerable number of corrections which need to be made to these files, e.g. spelling, grammar, inclusion of tables, etc., which hopefully I'll get around to before too long.
   
    As is clear from reading what's here, it was all produced originally with particular audiences in mind. In making the material more widely available, I'd ask you to please bear the original contexts in mind. Times change, we all move on; some of what's here is still relevant, some not. Use your discretion.
