Saturday Photo: Concrete Getting Nearer
Next week I should get suggested revisions to my next book Concrete: From Ancient Origins to a Problematic Future. The University of Regina Press has set the publication date for October 10, 2020, and now it seems that the book will actually soon be concrete (a sort of a bad pun.)
Concrete is an amazing material that has built the world as we know it. Things built with concrete vary from the Gothic-inspired church of Notre Dame de Raincy in France to freeways like the one pictured below in Montreal that had to be torn down after 60 years because it was falling apart.
Working on this book has been a pleasure, and now, as I continue to talk about Frenemy Nations: Love and Hate between Neighbo(u)ring States, I'm looking forward to switching gears next fall and talking about this amazing stuff.
