1 Dorset and Ghana -- 2 Lusaka -- 3 Swaziland -- 4 Dorchester -- 5 Coventry -- 6 Seattle, Shuffleboard, Vitaly -- 7 College Park, Maryland -- 8 Columbus -- 9 Norwich and Graham -- 10 Columbus Revisited -- 11 Norwich Revisited -- 12 Two New Roles in Norwich -- 13 From Sillery to the Office for Students -- 14 Durham -- 15 Leeds -- 16 Newcastle -- 17 Looking back.

This memoir chronicles the journey of an academic, tracing a path from primary school in Zambia to a career in higher education as a mathematician and educational leader. Set against the backdrop of the 20th century, the book explores how early influences and historical events shape an individual's life and professional trajectory. The author shares childhood experiences across three parts of Africa, providing an original perspective as a witness to the post-colonial period. Through personal reflections, the memoir delves into the emergence of ideas and collaborations in mathematics and how these shape career choices. It also offers candid observations on the major changes in British higher education since the 1980s. Intended for a general audience, this book provides a compelling read for anyone interested in the experience of becoming a mathematician, and higher education in general.
