The author of this blog is Trevor Pateman. I have purchased all the books reviewed here except a very few noted as sent to me. My own books are cheapest at blackwells.co.uk and are usually on Amazon. I can be found at academia.edu but do not have an X account and never used Twitter; that is another Trevor Pateman.
