The maps are not badly placed but the page split and selection is not helpful either.I found footnotes to be a major problem. Letters to a young chef is essentially a diary of how hard the food industry is, written by someone who genuinely knows about the hardship of the food industry. It's a nice story too. "It may be," he writes, "that for a society to flourish, it has to keep its egregore alive; and for this to happen, the emotional and spiritual focus of the population must be on this world rather than on the next." And while Christianity, for instance, began as an otherworldly cult, it soon took on its own egregore - that of the 'pseudoempire' (as Godwin calls it) of the Church.Godwin rightly perceives that polytheistic religions are superior to monotheistic ones, because the former incorporate the latter but not the other way around. Another being that when the ship ported around the berg, it almost collided with a huge ice field just beyond.

"Tom Fort has put together a delightfully discursive book: a gentle rambling through the printed sources interlaced with meetings and outings to give it topicality." Daily Mail " an entertaining survey of the history of man's ceaseless struggle to answer the big question: do I need to take my Mac?" The Independent " Good humoured and quietly The exchange between Johnson's Englishmen may not, in the end, arrive anywhere in particular, but it goes on to this day.Under the Weather is a worthy addition to that long-lived conversation, and a reminder of how compelling it remains." Guardian "A great little book about the British obsession with the climate, it's full of fruitful parcels of meteorological lore." Conde Nast Traveller " The writing possesses an affable charm and Fort has an appealing layman's enthusiasm for the subject." Financial Times Magazine
