Not only does Gauld love books, he also loves booklovers, and publishes in major newspapers and magazines, including <em>The Guardian<\/em>, <em>The New Scientist<\/em>, <em>The New York Times<\/em>, and <em>The New Yorker<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Section 31 (Game)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>How well do you know your sci-fi spaceships, aircraft, and vehicles?
