pickLots of good stuff in here but it can be repetitive and it does beat you over the head a bit with statistics and lists of names of people and places. And, oh dear, the misprints. When the maps at the beginning of the book are paired with the wrong captions you know you're in trouble. But I'm still glad I read it because when it decides to be interesting and informative it really is.
Ended up near a bookstore while running errands. Did I stop in? Of course! Did I buy books? Is there any doubt? 😆
pickExcellent companion piece to one of my favourite books.

Well, this was an interesting book to read this past week. It is outdated, though, this edition having been published in 2019. Despite that, some interesting big picture points to consider heading into the future.
Argh! I bought this book ages ago, so I definitely don‘t have the receipt any more to return it. From page 5-36 it is all like this! 😱
pick*Not the tagged book* Audible produces a Words + Music series, which allows listeners to consume a brief overview of various music artists. I enjoyed learning about legendary cellist Yo-Yo Ma in this Audible Original, Beginner‘s Mind. Yo-Yo Ma immediately had my attention when the audiobook opened with him describing a remote home he and his wife enjoy that is immersed in nature.
