He has published more than 220 peer-reviewed scientific papers, with many appearing in leading international journals, and he maintains numerous international research collaborations. Perhaps his most prominent work has been as a director of The Dunedin Study for more than 20 years. Known in full as the ‘Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study’, the project began in 1975, originally designed as a short-term project to explore how birth events affect later health. A growing interest in the results, however, enabled continuation of the Study and 45 years on it has become renowned across the world as one of the most significant projects of its kind.

In the tough times of 2020, Iâve found myself drawn to nonfiction that made me look at the familiar in a different way. Iâve collected my favorite 15 books of the year here (technically, two were published in 2019, but I didnât get around to reading them until this year). The first 14 are in random order, followed by my pick for the best nonfiction book of the year.
