Tricky to say, when I have to read so many for work; but I very often go back to Charles Thomas's Early Christian Archaeology of North Britain - a bible; and Bede, of course; re-read many times and still fresh. Terry Coleman's biography of Nelson is the best; and I think John Marsden's Northanhymbre Saga is a wonderful read. For a history of us, as a species, Bronowski every time: The Ascent of Man. And Oliver Rackham for trees and landscapes..

Hello Max, my name is Adrian Pekaar. I was a good friend of your father Warwick, when and after he was my creative director in Holland. I now live in Wexford, Ireland with my (also) Dutch partner Gerda Teljeur who is an artist and nature lover. That's why we bought your magnificent book about trees and we love it. When you were 12 or so, I met you once in our office in Amsterdam. Do you know if Verena is still alive?

I am reading Land of Giants and in referring to Notes and their page references, I am finding no connection. It is driving me nuts. I.e. Notes page 39 explains Light +raDar. does it refer to first graph on that page somehow? Others are even more oblique if not totally impossible. I have walked many of your paths over my 78 years and this book is riveting. Your explanation is appreciated to increase my enjoyment.
