Warwick Cairns (born Dagenham, 1962) is a British author.
He was educated at Keele University in England and at Yale University in the United States, where he studied under Professor Harold Bloom.
His first book, About the Size of It (Pan Macmillan, 2007) championed the cause of traditional systems of measurement.[1] His second, How to Live Dangerously (Pan Macmillan, 2008 and St. Martin's Press, 2009) criticised the excessive concern with 'Health & Safety' throughout much of the industrialised world and argued that it is necessary to embrace risk to live life to the full.[2]
