Episode description

Standing at his bookshelf beneath a large, grey, spreading Nimbostratus cloud, Charles Adrian talks about two books from one guest on the podcast and one from another.

 

The Cloudspotter’s Guide by Gavin Pretor-Pinney is discussed in Page One 27 (http://www.pageonepodcast.com/season-1#/27-anna-sulan-masing/) and Page One 163.

 

Books discussed in this episode were previous discussed in Page One 34 (http://www.pageonepodcast.com/season-1#/34-sarah-le-fevre/) and Page One 36 http://www.pageonepodcast.com/season-1#/36-tim-wells/.

 

Sum by David Eagleman is also discussed in Page One 113 (http://www.pageonepodcast.com/season4#/113-donna-butlin/).

 

Charles Adrian forgot to mention that his conversation with Sarah Le Fevre (the one that survives, at least) was recorded at the British Museum in London.
