Our
book St Helena and Ascension Island: A Natural History has
been published by Anthony Nelson. Philip's connection with Ascension
dates from the time when he was a member of the British Ornithologists'
Union Centenary Expedition to Ascension in 1958/59, when he studied the
breading biology of the Wideawakes and Noddy Terns. Our most recent
work an Ascension has been on the fauna of the caves and lava flows.
We have also worked on the underground fauna of St Helena. We have
just been analyising a large number of soil samples that we collected on
St Helena in 1994/95 in order to map the ancient seabird colonies.
We have done this previously for Ascension. |

St
Helena features as the 'ultimate island' and concluding chapter in my A
Geography of Islands: Small Island Insularity (Routledge: London, 2001).
I was part of the British government team to report on the fiscal and economic
survey of Ascension Island in 2000. A paper on this island during
its period as a company colony from 1922-1942 appeared in 2004. |

I
am working on the history of the early settlement of the island and the
history of slavery on St Helena constitute long term projects. I
am also working on papers on St Helena politics, on the St Helena General
Workers Union, on the island's Liberated African Depot, and on St Helenian
emigration to Cape Colony and Natal. I am preparing a demographic study
of St Helena for a book on language on the island (edited jointly with
Laura Wright). |
