Books. For details of my books on the weather, language, and consciousness, among others..

Consciousness. Material related to my consciousness book The Science of Consciousness, and consciousness research, particularly sleep, dreams, and higher and altered tates of consciousness. Here you will find additional information, as well as clarifications and any corrections to the text, plus as many resources on consciousness as I have time to add. I have kept a dream diary for many years. I update these pages very frequently.

Mental health. My struggles with mental illness. My blog on mental illness, whatisthemeaningofmylife, is now hosted on these pages, and new entries can also be found with here. It particularly deals with depression and anxiety, and how they relate to trying to find meaning in life. I also talk about the meaning of life in general, and my fear of death.

Chess. I am a keen (if distinctly average) chess player. I am interested in the psychology of chess playing, particularly at the sub-grandmaster level, and how we can all become better players - at any age. I have written several guest blogs on improving at chess. You can also find information about my suggested chess self-improvement plan.

Photography. I am a keen photographer, particularly of landscapes and scenes with scientific interest (such as the weather). I have sold some of my photographs to science texts, and the BBC have featured several of my photographs on their weather forecasts with the handle "Perdix". See here for some of my photographs.
