Review: An atlas with a difference. - I have read Tim Marshall’s excellent book ‘Prisoners of Geography’ and thought that this atlas might be useful to my grandsons. However, used in conjunction with the book, I have found it a very useful aid to visualising the geography of the countries written about. The jolly, ‘child friendly’ format is most attractive and my grandsons have enjoyed dipping into it. I may well buy them a copy of their own. The simplification of the information in the book is very well done and can be appreciated by adults and older children alike. An atlas with a difference that offers help in understanding our complex world.
Review: To understand is to have compassion - Especially now everyone should read all of this author's books. War doesn't just happen, it has a long history and often rumbles away for years like a poisoned volcano. I frequently hear the author's words in my ears as we lurch from miserable crisis to war, to genocide in the world at t his time. It doesn't help the pain of living at a time where there is so much hatred, but it does help me understand.
