The audiobook for THE MAN FROM SAIGON is on sale! I can highly recommend 😄
It may be my favourite of mine. It's got accurate history in it and tracks a love affair of an American journalist and her photographer in 1968.

@i_am_mill_i_am Hearing this, I know without doubt that 2023 will be a special year. Thank you!

@i_am_mill_i_am Sad news, Andy. “But if—if—such songs are sung out to the end
with all the heart, with all the breath in the lungs,
almost everything vanishes . . . And what remains
is the desert vastness, the stars, the one who sings.”

50 years on from The Limits of Growth. A superb set of essays that asks: Can there be a fair global society within the planetary boundaries? #biodiversity #climatechange #clubofrome

This history of the environment movement from ⁦@GeoffreyLean⁩ is full of fascinating facts.
I'd no idea Rachel Carson was labelled a communist for being 'too attractive' yet unmarried. Or that Ted Heath wanted to create a green 'Department for Life" https://t.co/NTRXSuT7sC

Does this sound familiar?
"The 1973 oil crisis first seemed to reinforce environmentalism, stressing the precariousness of resources. But attention was diverted as an economic crisis (..) followed."

ONS reports UK business investment fell by 0.5% in the first quarter of 2022, despite the corporation tax super-deduction being specifically designed to bring investment forward to 2021-22.

Hard to find a more worrying chart for the future of the UK economy than this 👇

@SpencerStuart @FT An excellent discussion which focused on the importance of setting people up for success. "Leaders create the environment that fosters difference."

This is quite the line-up for a celebration of Paul McCartney’s 80th birthday and maybe I’m amazed I’m on it. 👍👍 @WIYElondon

@BacklistedPod @stephenfry Thank you, Stephen, Andy and John for re-acquainting me with this amazing work. “With freedom, flowers, books, and the moon, who could not be happy?” I might just add “Backlisted”.
