Illustrations, Manuscript, Talks

Update #16 · Oct 26, 2011 · 1 comment

Hey friends--

Continuing to work away here. Exciting progress.

The manuscript is coming together. Now for expert feedback and copy-editing and it's ready!

OPEN has come up with the first round of iconic illustrations. We're still working on some of them, but I'll be posting some here when it's ready.

Finally, I've given a couple talks around these ideas, exploring the material with an audience. One was at the Royal Geographical Society. One was at the London School of Economics.

LSE posted a podcast of the talk. You can listen here: http://www2.lse.ac.uk/newsAndMedia/videoAndAudio/channels/publicLecturesAndEvents/player.aspx?id=1207

(Thanks to Kyra Davis for setting up the LSE event!)

So, more news soon, but things are getting closer!

Thanks again for all your support, encouragement and patience!

-Alex
