Maps that Changed the World – “From the USSR’s Be On Guard! map in 1921 to Google Earth, a new exhibition at the British Library charts the extraordinary documents that transformed the way we view the globe forever.”

Paul Johnson on Winston Churchill – In his new biography of Churchill, Paul Johnson proposes five take-aways from the British leader’s life. Ray Ortlund summarizes them. Love him or hate him, you’ve got to know that Churchill lived a life we can all learn from.
