Could well be interesting. I've always been impressed with his broadcasting. He's the regular presenter of "Inside Science" on Radio 4.
Looking at ALSTON in south Ribble area, ALSTEAD and DONBAVAND/DUNBABIN etc. everywhere, HOWCROFT and MARSH in Bolton and Westhoughton, PICKERING in the Whitehaven area.

It's definitely worth 60p.

Highly recommended, hugely informative and also very entertaining to read.

I cherish his comments about how we know more about ancient peoples and their diet because they weren't too good at washing up.  (They left detritus at the bottom of their cooking pots  ;))
