Visiting boundary moments through time and space on our beautiful planet, aspects of borders and setting boundaries are visited, looked at and considered.
The author's narration in the audiobook is engaging and immediately took me onto the journey and the places we were going to visit, be they far back in the past or recent or current events.
One check I always do with nonfiction books is to see how equally or unequally male and female point of views are included in the pages such as including male and female scientists, knowledge holders, interlocutors and/or where/how male/female is represented throughout the book.
With regards to this question, this book offers a male, European centred view, that goes down the male lineage, referring male scientists, male interlocutors, leaving any contribution of women out of the words, out of the picture.

This book made me think about how much of what I've assumed about the world is actually just accepting things that really need to be thought about a little more deeply. It is a book whose themes I expect to keep coming back to over the next several months/years.
