This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.

Degraded?

In Graded Exercise Therapy patients used to be encouraged to gradually but progressively increase levels of exercise. The approach doesn't seem to work and can actually set some people back, in their attempts to return to a normal life and/or work.
