what you get here

This is not a blog which opines on current events. It rather uses incidents, books (old and new), links and papers to muse about our social endeavours.
So old posts are as good as new! And lots of useful links!

The Bucegi mountains - the range I see from the front balcony of my mountain house - are almost 120 kms from Bucharest and cannot normally be seen from the capital but some extraordinary weather conditions allowed this pic to be taken from the top of the Intercontinental Hotel in late Feb 2020

An introductory summary of "Dispatches to the Next Generation - a bibliograph's notes from the last 50 years"

The last 2 months I;ve had some problems with the internet - and used this as an opportunity to discipline myself to focus on the book I've been working on for the past decade; and to try to give it a shape it has been missing.
Basically I laid the text to one side and tried to identify the narrative of the various musings I had selected as relevant to the theme of "the global crisis" - however defined.
It's come out at some 60 pages and can be found here
Coincidentally the great english journalist Anthony Barnett gave us recently one of his amazing extended essays – Out of the Belly of Hell which, like my book, also takes a long vies of the origins of our crisis
