Talking About . . .
Various members of the Damaris team (initially Nick Pollard; later by Tony Watkins and other occasional contributors) write a regular column in Idea magazine entitled Talking about . . . Significantly expanded versions of four of these articles formed the basis of a short series of books from Damaris - click here for more information and sample chapters.
