Ana–I always find your posts interesting and informative. Today’s post has an awesome variety of useful and entertaining sections. Thanks so much for your contribution to the rest of us.
Thanks for pointing this out, Ana. That ‘famous North London firm of geographers’ was Philips, where I had my first job out of college. Not making globes, though, and not 1955!
Thanks -as always- for the link Ana!
