Alan Marshall

Alan Marshall was born and raised in New Zealand, growing up on a ‘lifestyle’ farm on the edge of Wellington. His family always had half a dozen sheep – no more, no less – munching away outside the house. As well as a BSc from Wolverhampton University in the UK, he holds a Master’s degree from Massey University (New Zealand’s best ‘sheep university’) and a PhD from Wollongong University in Australia. He is the author of five previous books, including an academic title, a novel, a book for Friends of the Earth Australia, and two illustrated ‘pop’ design books for general audiences.
