This is a series of stories about the lives of eight of my ancestors, beginning with my cousin, John (born 1923), and ending with my great grandfather, Alfred (born 1817).

The idea of the phrase, 'luck of the Fells,' originated from narrow escapes in wartime, but is actually about one's attitude to the opportunities and difficulties that come along in our lives.

This is my very short, 2019 book - only 5000 words. It's a summary of the main principles outlined in the longer books, with a little bit extra.

Printed copies are available direct from me at no charge and it's also a

free download from here.

Dancing with the Unknown -

FEELINGS and Everyday MIND and LOVE

is my most concise and complete book (paperback, 145 pages, published April 2017, ISBN 978-0-9943332-1-6).

It contains what I think i've learned so far as a human being and a biological scientist. Knowing so little, relatively speaking, has become an asset now.

You can buy it at Lulu.com or at other online bookstores (though at Amazon etc it is considerably more expensive).

MIND and LOVE - The Human Experience

is my most comprehensive book (paperback, 279 pages, published January 2011, ISBN 978-1-4466-4333-4).

You can read a detailed outline of the book here and the CODA, with conclusions and summary.

You can buy it at Lulu.com or at other online bookstores (though at Amazon etc it is more expensive). You can also get it as an E-book at Barnes and Noble NOOK or at Ibooks.

Seized By Agreement, Swamped by Understanding. This book is a collection of papers we put together for a visit to Australia by Humberto Maturana. That was 1994, but his way of thinking is as relevant to day as it was then.
