In other news, and in a brief deviation from economics, Volterra associate Nick Bosanquet has recently turned historian in a new book about World War 1 that focuses on the ‘wider western front’ and how the war impacted on home territory. In ‘Our Land at War’ Nick traces the main UK sites that affected the war effort, and examines how the signs of this effort and often of the sacrifice are there to be found in your own town. The book will be published by the History Press in May 2014 to mark the centenary of WW1. Read more about the book here.
