John Sodeau - Fair Lane - PB - SIGNED - BRAND NEW 2024
Charley Bates was an outsider. Always the third wheel to the Artful Dodger and Oliver Twist’s double-act in Fagin’s gang. Then he became the redeemed thief who managed to turn himself into ‘the merriest young grazier in the whole of Northamptonshire.’ But would he remain on the straight and narrow or go back to his criminal ways? What he needed was a mission to keep himself honest.
Author John Sodeau on writing his new book FIELD LANE
My journey along Field Lane - John Sodeau Cork based author John Sodeau's shares his account of the process and background to his new book - Field Lane. Before I retired from front line science research a few years back, I decided that I’d like to write a fiction novel. Probably a thriller. Maybe a whodunnit. But I was certain I would wait until I got what I thought would be a good original idea which I could turn into words that people wanted to read.
Real-time Monitoring of Aerosols Generated from Toilet Flushing
Abstract Flushing toilets generate visible droplets from turbulent flow, but also produce numerous smaller airborne droplets (∼micrometres in size) through atomisation. Flushing may aerosolise pathogens from stool or urine, spreading disease. This study continuously monitored aerosols in a shared office lavatory over a week using a biological particle detector, the Wideband Integrated Bioaerosol Sensor (WIBS).
Anja Murray: Peat bogs are so much more than just a source of fuel
The word ‘bog’ comes from the Irish for soft – bogach – like the saying ‘tóg go bog é’ – take it softly, take it easy. The reason why peat bogs are so soft is that they are made up of the remains of mosses and other plants that have accumulated over thousands of years, never really breaking down properly because of the wet, acidic environment that is unique to peatland habitats. All growing plants take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

Can we win the global war against air pollution?
Updated / Friday, 10 Jan 2020 12:35 "We would do much better in this area if we could only see the pollution directly as we travelled in towns and cities" Opinion: while we now know the damage air pollution and climate change cause, changing the situation requires some big battles In 2014, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang first announced to the world that China was waging war against smog.
Why fibre is not always good for your health
Opinion: scientists, the EU and national governments are going to have to show some moral fibre in fighting the microplastics in our air Air quality and plastic pollution rarely (if ever) appear in the same written sentence even though separately they represent problems that every person interested in our environment knows about. But a recent report on the distribution of microplastic fibres in snow samples, collected as far away as the Arctic, shows that we must start coupling the two together.
Walking in a winter wonderland: the climate change remix
Opinion: here's how a scientist would use Christmas to talk about the challenges we face with climate change and air quality Scientists find it difficult to communicate science to the public, though there are notable exceptions like David Attenborough and Jacob Bronowski. Part of the problem is the unemotional and rational state required to make authentic discoveries about the natural world - and humour is definitely not used when publishing scientific observations and facts in research journals.
