PaleoAngola Project

In the past, most people who went to Angola were searching for oil, diamonds or landmines. Now, the country is also proving a big draw for fossil hunters - known in the scientific community as palaeontologists - who have described Angola as a 'museum in the ground'. A must visit.

A New Black Gold

I found the biochar project interesting. Wastes from from agriculture and fishing are turned into charcoal by roasting it in a low-oxygen atmosphere. The process turns waste into raw carbon, which can then be used to fertilise the soil. If the trials work out, life becomes sweet for Craig Sams, the founder of Carbon Gold. All the best Mr Sams.

South Korea’s Paju Book City is an ambitious new town based exclusively around publishing. The project was initiated by publisher Yi Ki-Ung, whose ambition extended to creating a city of books that would also become a kind of museum of architecture: Paju features buildings by some of the finest architects working in the world today. A must visit.
