Peter Frankopan’s The Silk Roads: A New History of the World reframes global history from an Eastern perspective—where Asia stands as the heart of civilization. Exploring faith, commerce and conquest, the book dismantles Eurocentric views and reveals how the Silk Roads were humanity’s true arteries.A brilliant read for those who value geopolitics and cultural exchange.

I really enjoyed listening to #PeterFrankopan being interviewed by #KimHill on #RadioNZ, but I was confused by his statement @ 45:51 that "2% of all flights produce 80% of airline #GHGemissions" 😕

Peter Frankopan: how climate shapes history

Understanding how shifts in the natural world have shaped history might help us navigate the anxious new era of climate change, according to Oxford University historian Peter Frankopan. His new book The Earth Transformed: An Untold History takes an epic survey, from the beginning of recorded history to the present day, examining how changing climate has driven the rise and fall of civilisations.

I really liked it a lot. It seems that I have been living under a rock so far.

Slightly Glühwein cozy drunk and I wonder if I should write to #PeterFrankopan and ask him if buying his last book „The New Silk Road“ was a mistake. I feel like it is, but want to make sure.
