Imagine the world seen from north to south.

I've written quite a number of history books. But Latitude is absolutely unique. Taking a look at the world through the lens of the bands of latitude, and the people, landscapes, plants and animals to be found there as well as their rich history, I'm sure it will fascinate and enthrall children and adults alike. Latitude is published today.
