Max Adams was born in London in 1961. In a varied career as an archaeologist, woodsman and broadcaster he has explored themes of landscape, knowledge and humans' connectedness with the earth. His first major work was Admiral Collingwood: Nelson's Own Hero and he has published many articles in both popular magazines and academic journals and written and presented a number of documentaries.
He teaches history and creative writing at the North-East Centre for Lifelong Learning and also works with school children on projects ranging from film-making and poetry to forestry and outdoor learning. He has lived and worked in North-East England since 1993 when he took up a post as Director of Archaeological Services at Durham University. While there he taught and tutored at undergraduate and post-graduate level.
In 2003 Adams was awarded a Churchill Fellowship and in 2005 he won an Elizabeth Longford grant.
