Christmas is going to be my first extended break of more than 3 days since the middle of August.
I plan to work on a few projects that are related to geography (of course), but also take the time to catch up with a bit of reading. This is the book I plan to read first: Sara Wheeler's "The Magnetic North".
Already sneaked the first chapter in, and some great passages on Chukotka, and the ecological impacts being felt in this hugely remote area.
What is your Christmas reading ??
At the Suffolk Geography Conference this week, I asked the delegates "what book would you buy the Geography teacher in your life for Christmas ?"
