Miscellaneous ‘publications’.

Though hardly publications in the conventional sense of the word, there were two productions which were quite fun;

106 Woolnough, B.E. (1971). (with Professor Sir Hermann Bondi). Light and Special Relativity. An audio tape discussion., Wakefield, Sussex Tapes.

107 . . . . (1974). (with Professor Rudolf Pieirls). The basis of Quantum Theory. An audio tape plus slides discussion. London, Audio Learning.

Conference proceedings, less significant articles, book reviews, letters to papers and translated articles in other languages and other countries (eg Germany, China, Japan, Portugal, Italy and Malta) have not, in general, been included.

Nor have I included the fifteen or so short articles for Christian and Church magazines, ten Christian pieces for a local secular newspaper,  as well as about 12 research papers for Tearfund on development issues such as Impact Assessment, Accountability, Relationships with the local Church, Partnership, Pastoral Support for Nationals in DMT, and HIV/AIDS.  These latter papers were produced when I was working with the Asia, and Africa, groups as part of the International Team at Tearfund, Teddington.
