#BookRecommendations

"Frontiers are the razor's edge on which hang suspended the modern issues of war or peace, of life or death to nations.”

Just finished this brilliant book about explorations across Asia, the incredible spies & soldiers who played the Great Game & its long shadow on #geopolitics!

#Geosophy book recommendation: Sea People by Christina Thompson.

Just finished this brilliant narrative of how we pieced together what we know of the prehistoric Polynesian migrations.

It artfully blends history, geography, archaeology, anthropology & the science of natural navigation.

It also weaves together the different characters: indigenous & modern navigators, intrepid voyagers, mapmakers, scholars, folklorists, among others, who shaped our understanding of these sea people.

“Remind me that the most fertile lands were built by the fires of volcanoes.”
― Andrea Gibson, The Madness Vase
