Podcast/video help needed
I am looking for technical advice and down-to-earth suggestions concerning the creation of podcasts and videos. As a novice in a world where people are rushing about like on a motorway, I need simply to talk the operation through.
If a Member can help (or anyone you know), please email Mike: mikehp001@hotmail.com or call 07889381477.
Julian Doberski – I have now had published two more books in addition to the one previously listed on this site. They are as follows:
The Science of Garden Biodiversity: The living garden. Pimpernel Press. £9.99 (or less)
The Science of Sewage: What happens when we flush. Pimpernel Press (Gemini Books). £9.99 (or less)
Both books are available through bookshops or Amazon.
Prior to retirement I taught at Anglia Ruskin University In Cambridge and all three of my books cover aspects of my teaching at ARU. All three books are intended for the interested lay reader. They are not textbooks, but they do try to explain a range of scientific/technical topics.

The Personality of Paris: Landscape and Society in the Long-Nineteenth Century
For a few years, Alan Baker gave a U3A Cambridge course on Peasants and Parisians: geographical perspectives on nineteenth-century France. He has expanded his three talks on Paris into a full-length book which examines the material and symbolic transformation of Paris – the City of Light – between 1789 and 1914. Published by Bloomsbury in February 2022, a paperback edition was issued towards the end of 2023.
A professor at the Sorbonne University, Philippe Boulanger, reviewing the book, wrote: “Alan Baker offers us an unprecedented look at the ‘personality of Paris’ in the nineteenth century. Its historical geography takes on a new meaning thanks to a sensitive analysis of the Parisian space and Parisians. A remarkable work . . .’
Julian Doberski: I have recently had published a book under the title: ‘The Science of Compost: Life, Death and Decay in the Garden’ Pimpernel Press £9.99.’
The book is intended for enthusiastic gardeners who want to know more about what goes on in their compost heap to turn green/brown organic waste into friable compost.
