Roger Kingdon’s web site

This is me (in my younger and more vulnerable years)

New for 2023:

• My Philosophy five-year review, follow the first link below;

• <WriteTree.py> family tree writer, follow the link below for technical research;

• Reviews of Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy and Karl Popper’s autobiography, follow the link below for book reviews.

For posterity, here are a few gems from my treasure trove of original writings, programs and other works that until now have been hidden away:

• My Philosophy, that is, my way of looking at the world and my place in it;

• IDEAL, my high-level design for a robot control system which, I claim, is capable of reproducing the key features of human intelligence;

• Turbulent Rankine Vortices, theoretical fluid mechanics research in which I show that the universal scaling laws of isotropic turbulence may be derived by means of the laminar flow Rankine vortex model;

• Various other one-off items of technical (i.e. scientific and/or computational) research;

• My ongoing genealogical research into the Kingdon family and related surnames (including Pawlyn, Griffin, Langford, Martyn, Fletcher, Bannatyne, Millar and Napier);

• Various book reviews;

• A couple of works of fiction;

• Various poems;

• A couple of card games;

• Letters to Blighty, a selection of my communiqués back home describing my experiences in India;

• Blog from Blighty, a selection of my communiqués to my family in India expressing my views on various UK current affairs stories.

And just in case you were wondering ... about the author ...
