After an academic career in which I wrote 20 text books, my post-retirement current general non-fiction books include GRAVITY: LIFE'S UPS AND DOWNS (2026), SCIENCE AND SENSIBILITY: FROM THE HEAVENS ABOVE TO THE EARTH BELOW (2025), EXTRACTION TO EXTINCTION: Rethinking our relationship with Earth's natural resources (2021), ROCKS AND RAIN, REASON AND ROMANCE: The landscape, people and history of the Lake District (2019). and WANDERING IN NORFOLK (2016). When I'm not writing, you might spot me ambling through the Lake District or Scotland. Or find me wandering a coastal path in Cornwall, Norfolk or Pembroke. There was a time when I could climb, walk and think about my next book all at the same time. But now I'm getting old and retired, it takes all my energy just to get up a hill, never mind think as well. Even so, as well as my Lake District Book I have managed to write another about my strolls and reflections as I've walked around Norfolk: "WANDERING IN NORFOLK: Time Lines and Crossing Places" (2016) published by Mousehold Press, Norwich. After a degree in geology and the natural sciences and careers in teaching and social work, in 1976 I took up a post as lecturer at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK. I am an Emeritus Professor in the School of Social Work at UEA. Over the years, my research and book writing interests have included social work theory, adoption, emotional intelligence, empathy, attachment theory, and child abuse and neglect. My final two academic books are "EMPATHY: What it is and why it matters" (2012), published by Palgrave Macmillan, and "THE COMPLEAT SOCIAL WORKER" (2014) also published by Palgrave Macmillan. Many thanks to all those who have bought and read my books. The interest is much appreciated. David Howe, BSc, MA, PhD
