By chance I stumbled across his lecture about Joseph Needham and then I read the book. I am now reading his book about the Oxford English Dictionary. I regret that I stumbled across him when I am old but this has been my experience because when I was young. I was a complete flake. I give thanks for KZfaq which is educating me albeit late in my life and it is doing a very good job teaching me Mandarin.
