A country tale in three parts
with Cheryl Campbell

'Dear Caroline. I don't pretend to understand you. "A challenge" you say; is that what you call giving up your independence? It seems to me you've chosen to bury yourself on a crumbling hill farm as a last way out.'
But Caroline's friend had not understood her love for a Devon farmer and the mystery of Dartmoor.

Life's Building Blocks
One of the greatest achievements of the biological revolution has been to work out how the materials of life are put together.
Armed with that knowledge, biotechnology is now able to put a whole host of new substances to work in industries as different as oil exploration and vaccine production. The final step is to be able to make in the laboratory test-tube, virtually any of the chemicals which until now only life itself has been able to create.
