Wasn't sure if this was the right forum, but I'm sure someone can move it if it isn't.
Just listened to this programme on Radio 4 - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000kgt8
Really interesting if you're into what I guess you could describe as the Politics, Philosophy and Economics of mapping.

Re: Radio 4 - Mapping the Future
I started to listen to that the other night, but fell asleep half way through - this was owing to my state of tiredness at the time, I should hasten to add, not a slight on the programme itself. Thanks for the reminder that I should go back and listen to it again!

Re: Radio 4 - Mapping the Future
Thanks for the recommendation , I will make a note to listen to it. I finally finished reading the presenter of that programme's book "A History of the World in Twelve Maps" during lockdown. It was an excellent read although not the lightest. From the programme description it seems like it's based on similar material to the final chapter of the book.cb a1 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 21:18 Wasn't sure if this was the right forum, but I'm sure someone can move it if it isn't.
