I still can’t believe this is true. If you’re curious, the paperback is out. A huge thanks to everyone who’s been in touch with kind words and congratulations. I’m deeply moved and honoured that my words are helping so many readers think about how to build a just future for all life on earth.

This is super interesting. Rev. Samuel Marsden, who is credited as the person who brought Merino to England (he was a parson at Botany Bay) was the curate at the church my wife is now a vicar in. Until recently there was also a small statue to him in Horsforth. @histassoc.bsky.social TH204

This week's HISTORY'S DEVILS is a big one - Gavrilo Princip. Tim Wilson from @cstpv.bsky.social joined me to discuss this 19 year-old "trigger" of the First World War Listen ⬇️ 🎧 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/h...

Typically great piece from Jane Card on teaching popular interpretations and why this matters. Well worth a look for those seeking to bolster interpretations work ahead of curriculum change @histassoc.bsky.social TH204
