Philip Dodd talks to nature writer Tim Robinson about the second volume of his trilogy which examines life in Connemara, Ireland's most westerly region. Robinson, originally from Yorkshire, moved to the area more than two decades ago, and his first part won him the prestigious Irish Book Award for Non-Fiction. Also, Philip gives the verdict on the British Museum's first exhibition of contemporary art, Statuephilia, which includes a 50 kilo solid gold Kate Moss sculpture and 200 new plastic skulls designed by Damien Hirst.
