		Holmes was professor of geology at the universities of Durham and Edinburgh until his death in 1965.

		Holmes was fortunate that the phenomenon of radioactivity was discovered during his years as a graduate student at London’s Imperial College of Science.

		Holmes also understood the importance of convection as a mechanism for loss of heat from the Earth and of cooling its deep interior.

	The Strange Case of Sherlock Holmes & Arthur Conan Doyle (2005) - Starring Douglas Henshall as Arthur Conan Doyle
		Arthur Conan Doyle had a lot to deal with — the childhood problems with his father who then died alone in an asylum, his wife's tuberculosis and his love for another woman.
		A slightly battered early edition of Sherlock Holmes stories was the inspiration for a life-long fascination with the detective, and the whole story behind him, for writer David Pirie.
		On the face of it, Arthur Conan Doyle — author and adventurer — is known but it his public face that people see and yet he too was a very emotional man, driven in ways that have never been clearly explored before.

		Holmes, meanwhile, takes a moment to expound on the advantages of German music over its less introspective (to his taste) Italian and French counterparts before dragging the always wide-eyed Watson across town to stare at the knees of a man's trousers.
		Klinger mentions that he enjoyed Sherlock Holmes as a young man. Le Carré fondly recalls having the stories read to him in boarding school by the headmaster's brother ("I can see him now," he writes, "and see his great bulk, with his bald head glinting before the coal fire").
		There is great fun to be had in the world of Holmes and Watson and even in the world of Klinger and Stix, et al.

		Nothing could be better," said Holmes, leaning back in his chair and looking keenly at me from under his half closed lids.

		Ask a Holmes buff for news of the giant rat of Sumatra, and he or she will answer, gently, that it is a tale for which the world is not yet prepared.
		In addition, the silliness of perpetuating what Klinger calls "the gentle fiction" that Holmes was a living person and that Doyle was just a literary agent for Watson did not sit well with me. I expected a scholarly introduction, not self-delusion masked as scholarship.

		Most enjoyable to me are Holmes amazing observations -where he looks at someone and can tell what they had for breakfast, and where they were a week ago from the dust on their shoes.
		A Study in Scarlet has the most complex and attracting plot of the Sherlock Holmes stories I have read, especially in the chain of events, which are so valued by Holmes, leading up to the climax.
