EDGE OF THE PLAIN: HOW BORDERS MAKE AND BREAK OUR WORLD (PB)

Beginning with the earliest known marker which denoted the end of one land and the beginning of the next, this book follows the story of borders into our fragile and uncertain future - through the virtual frontiers of the internet, and the shifting geography of a world beset by climate change. Combining history, travel and reportage, it takes us to borders old and new, from a melting border high in the glacial landscapes of the Austrian-Italian Alps to Banksy’s ‘Walled Off Hotel’ in the conflict-torn West Bank.
