My two most recent books…

• Talking Heads: The New Science of How Conversation Shapes Our Worlds (latest review is in The Quad: The Oxford University Alumni Association magazine: ‘This is a very important book because it drills down into how we shape realities through conversation and dialogue, including identity, filtering down into bedrock convictions that can result in wars.’

• In Praise of Walking: The new science of how we walk and why it’s good for us (I cover some related issues to do with metabolism in this book, especially in Chapter Two - Walking Out of Africa).
