Born in Scotland, educated at Oxford, in New York since 1981 and can't imagine living anywhere else. When I'm not wearing my editorial hat for NRDC's OnEarth magazine, I write books - on anything from the Iraq, China and U.S. foreign policy to rivers and fly-fishing. My next will be a book on 19th century violence and the exploration of Yellowstone, to be published in 2010 by St. Martin’s Press. I'm the author of many OnEarth articles, including cover stories on Patagonia (Fall 2006) and global warming, environmental refugees and Islam in Bangladesh (Summer 2008). I'm married to the author and playwright Anne Nelson, and we have two bred-in-the-bone New York kids, David (19) and Julia (17).
