There's changing your outlook, & then there's seeing the world in a whole new way. The Square Earth globe is a study in whimsy, not to mention contradiction: after all, a globe is defined as a spherical object, while a cube is anything but. But that's part of the fun
- this globe is all about suspension of disbelief. Detach it from its stand & hold it in your hands. Be reminded that no matter how much we know, the world is still full of mystery.

If the financial City of London is her heart & the parks her lungs, then London's squares must be her soul. The London square is quintessentially English. Residential or commercial, historical or architecturally ground-breaking, the square is one of the capital's most familiar & loved features. Square London endeavours to investigate the history of the London square, from its oldest
- Covent Garden & Bloomsbury, to its most recent
- Canada & Highbury. The focus is not on architectural value or style but on the life of the square, its occupants past & present, significant events of national importance & the dark secrets of individual buildings & their tenants. Each square featured in this book has its own unique story, whether through buildings which still exist or have sadly disappeared, characters both past & present or events of tremendous public joy or deep shock & horror. What becomes apparent is the role the London square has played in the history of this great nation. The square's of London mirror the capital's highs & lows, from the celebrations in Trafalgar Square when Britain was awarded the 2012 Olympic games, to the loss & devastation on July 7th when terrorists killed 52 innocent people
- 13 of them in Tavistock Square. It has been over 100 years since the publication of a book about London's squares & this book seeks to address the void of past historical neglect & link the London square to events of national & international importance.
