Ah yes, all on page 1...

ASUW Experimental College :: John Spiers - John Spiers has been trading worldwide since 1974 and teaching with the Experimental College since 1984.

DBLP: John Spiers - Co-author of "Industry Panel on The Direction of Object Oriented Technology in the Marketplace"

John Spiers - A member of the www.photo.net community since August 25, 2002.

John Spiers - Professor. Author of George Gissing and the City: Cultural Crisis and the Making of Books in Late
Victorian England

There are more on other pages too:

Design Creations is owned and operated by John Spiers (B. Ed) in Geraldton, Western Australia

John Spiers (Chief Executive) is a graduate of Clare College, Cambridge with more than 25 years experience of investment research.

John Spiers is a registered nurse at the University of Hawaii

Rev. John Spiers, former Moderator of the Presbytery of Glasgow, was born in Edinburgh in 1943.

John Spiers offers tourist guiding services in KwaZulu-Nata, South Africa.

John Spiers sits on the Scottish Executive of the Environment & Rural Affairs Dept, Plants, Horticulture and Potatoes Branch

and my favourite:

"This slim but thoughtful volume is a work of scholarship. John Spiers, chairman of the Patients Association, has thought deeply about issues of life and death and moral choices in health care. The book is based on a public lecture in which he gave tentative and qualified support for voluntary euthanasia."

So, he's quite an all-rounder

Cheers

Nick
