A history of the world...

... in a hundred objects.

Many of you are already tuning in to wonderful BBC Radio 4, and in that cas you will know about the series "A History of the World in 100 Objects". It's a magnificent row of 15-minute talks describing 100 objects which can be found in the glorious British Museum. Members of Staff there chose objects which they considered vital steps in World History. You can still download the podcasts, but why not visit the British Museum Site and find out even more:

The picture on the left shows one of the objects, a plate commemorating the Russian Revolution.

Writing this has ben unusually tiresom, as the letter "e" keeps getting stuck on my laptop. I think this is a consequence of eating toast too close. Or too clos.

Hav a good wk:)
