Storm Dunlop
Author, Translator, Editor, Lecturer
As you probably already know if you are
viewing this page, I am a British author and translator, working mainly in the
physical sciences, such as astronomy, meteorology, and geology. My own books
are largely concerned with astronomy and the weather, but my translations (both
books and articles) have covered a much wider range: from 'Lake Baikal' to
'Extraterrestrial Intelligence', taking in 'Speech among the Neanderthals'
along the way.
Some people have difficulty in believing
that ‘Storm’ is my true name – especially because I write about the weather
(amongst other things). In fact, ‘Storm’ is a fairly common Scandinavian and
German surname, even if not very common as a first name. But there are others.
See, for example, this poor soul who had his house swept away: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-19930269.
