The whole is greater than the sum of its parts

August 5, 2014 · by lupi · in example, opinion

I love it when I come across two examples of a point I want to make. That adds more weight to said point, right? I started yesterday off enjoying BBC History’s series of video explainers about WW1. Lovely, and informative,…

To map or not to map
