BEING AND PLACE
Papers, Articles, Reviews, Chapters and Talks
Many of the documents contained below are chapters from books. I put them out separately because they are strong enough to stand alone and because they can also serve to introduce people to wider aspects of my work. Others are from various sources, progress and transfer reports, articles and essays on Green issues, work for various forums and websites.
