Om mit bibliotekMy graduate training is in history & philosophy of science, but my professional arc has been a mix of teaching, international development, and science & health policy. My library collections are thus not always so much a coherent set of stable categories as a reflection of successive work areas and locations, including most recently over 10 years of living and working in Egypt. At the moment I'm researching and writing a book about the life & times of Nicholas Copernicus, which accounts for the large number of volumes in the history of astronomy & mathematics. The fact that the largest number of book entries (and a handful of old reviews) all date from March 2020 is just a reflection that this is the date when I migrated everything from an older GoodReads account.
