Over at A Historian’s Craft, rachel leow has a really neat little project going on, mapping out and annotating the travels of Marco Polo as she reads The Travels of Marco Polo. Of course, it would be really creative if she mapped out the travels of Marco Polo while reading The Travels of William Bartram, but who’s complaining.
Rachel is also the curator of a lovely series of photos entitled BookPorn. This is one of the latest from Lankester Antiques and Books.
Pete, it’s Colin from Messiah. I just wanted to let you know that I read this, and that I’d like you to watch another TED video. It will be a link on this page. I could tell you a lot, but watch the video first. It is long, so no rush. Just when you get a chance.
