A celebration of innovation and legacy!

A packed audience gathered at the UCL Grant Museum of Zoology to mark the launch of Professor Sir John Ambrose Fleming FRS: Physicist, Engineer, and Inventor — a new biography by Dr. Jim Lewis, published by Libri Publishing.

Fleming (1849–1945), known as the Father of Electronics, was a pioneering engineer and educator whose work laid the foundations for modern electronics and broadcasting. Best remembered for inventing the thermionic valve, his impact on science and technology reaches far beyond this single invention.

At the launch, Dr. Lewis shared fascinating insights into Fleming’s remarkable life and enduring influence. A highlight of the evening was the presentation of an original 1906 Fleming valve, gifted by Dr. Lewis to Professor John Mitchell, Head of UCL’s Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering — the very department Fleming founded in 1885.

The valve will now be placed on permanent display at UCL, a fitting tribute to a man whose ideas helped shape the modern world.

📖 Professor Sir John Ambrose Fleming FRS by Dr. Jim Lewis is available now from Libri Publishing.

ATOMIC BLACKMAIL? — Featured in Forbes & Live Now

Simon Bennett’s Atomic Blackmail? explores the alarming reality of nuclear power plants becoming frontline weapons in wars like Ukraine.

His insights informed a recent Forbes article (co‑written with journalist Kevin Holden Platt), which examines how Russian strikes on nuclear plants in Ukraine might foreshadow tactics against NATO — and draws attention to the risks of “atomic blackmail.”

As nuclear power expands globally, the chances increase that combatants may threaten, occupy, or damage nuclear facilities to coerce opponents or disrupt civilian infrastructure (EurekAlert!) (ORF Online)
Atomic Blackmail? is critical reading for:

Risk analysts & nuclear policy experts

Civil servants & lawmakers

Scholars and students of international relations

💬 “A must‑read for those invested in nuclear risk and geopolitics.”
