INTRODUCTION
Although I have a science degree I work mostly on social and political issues, much of this for agencies of the United Nations, particularly in Asia.
Writer – My most recent books are the No-Nonsense Guide to Global Finance (2009), the No-Nonsense Guide to International Migration (2008), and the Oxford Guide to Countries of the World, the second edition of which was published in 2007. I have also written a history of the United Nations Economic Commission for Asia and the Pacific.
Editor – I have edited numerous publications for United Nations agencies, including the global UNDP Human Development Report and the regional human development report for Asia and the Pacific. For some publications, for Oxford University Press and others, I take the publication to the page layout stage and prepare the files for the printer.
Web designer – Recently I have also been engaged in designing, writing and coding for websites. These include a site of my own, Stalker's Guide to International Migration, as well as the site for the NGO, Strategies for Hope.
