Later this year you will be able to read about all this and more in my book - but until then, sit back and enjoy listening to a preview chapter on the podcast, or read an excerpt on the blog.

Or drop me a line and ask me to give a slideshow presentation at your school, company or organisation. (Or even in the comfort of your own home.)

The geographically-inclined might like to get their atlases out and trace the route: up the Rhine, down the Danube, along the Black Sea and Sea of Azov coast of Ukraine, through Russia, across the Urals, across Siberia, through Tuva, across Mongolia and the Gobi desert, over the Great Wall of China, through Beijing and Shanghai to Hong Kong - and then down into Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand, and back up the Mekong into Yunnan and Sichuan, up, over and across the Tibetan plateau, down into the Turpan depression, skirting the Taklamakan and the Tian Shan, into Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, back into Russia, Ukraine, and home again.

(Or you can cover all 43,000 km in 3.8 seconds by clicking here.)
