Terrific review for Black Brain, White Brain
12 May 2015
‘GAVIN Evans studied economic history and law, has a PhD in politics and has worked as a journalist for 25 years. He has read widely on evolutionary biology, palaeontology, biological anthropology, archaeology, neuroscience and evolutionary psychology. He needed all this for his latest book, Black Brain White Brain. It plunges deep into the world of racist science and demolishes its myths quickly and smartly.’

Paul Anthony Jones writes for Foyles
07 May 2015
‘In Word Drops: A Sprinkling of Linguistic Curiosities, Paul Anthony Jones takes on a glorious unpredictable journey through the world of language, revealing some of the many unexpected connections and weird juxtapositions that make the world of words such a delight. Amid a thousand different linguistic curiosities he ranges from Tudor England to the First World War and from German to Navajo. Dictionaries are usually regarded as the final arbiters on langauage, deciding arguments about anything from etymology to questionable seven-letter words in Scrabble, but, as Paul reveals here, even the most reputable of them sometimes get it plain wrong.’

Sheridan Simove in The Hub

Whatever your dream, this man is living proof you can make it happen.”
