From Ray Brindle
Burwood Highway, Victoria, Australia
In regard to your series of letters on coauthors (last seen in Letters, 8
February, p 51), my friend Bill Young at Monash University (Victoria) combined
with John Black in Sydney and the late Bob Pretty in Brisbane in a memorable
1989 paper on land use and transport.
I suspect it’s a myth that John Black coauthored a paper with a student
called Tan, but I couldn’t help thinking what a colourful bunch of authors they
would all make when I lunched with Michael Browne and Peter White of the
University of Westminster some years ago.
