"Read-the-World" - Be globally informed
Welcome to our new initiative, bringing together books by region of the world. Previously we have had departments covering travel, history and world affairs. They will continue, whilst "Read-the-World" will link laterally between them, making it easy to find reading material on a geographic as well as subject basis.
We debated whether to delay the launch until all regions were covered, but decided to move forward step by step. Our first listings were for two regions (Africa and the Middle East) and two subjects (Travel and World Affairs). China has now been included and others will be added over the coming weeks until we have a global cover at the level of continents and major regions. Subdivision into more individual countries or sub-regions will follow from April/May onwards, taking one continent at a time and starting with Africa.
To ensure that you are kept informed, sign up for our newsletter using the form in the left-hand column of this page.
