Beschreibung

Today, there are more borders in the world than ever before in human history. Beginning with the earliest known example, Crawford travels to borders old and new: from a melting glacial landscape to the fault-lines of the US/Mexico border. He follows the story of borders into our fragile and uncertain future - towards the virtual frontiers of the internet and the shifting geography of a world beset by climate change.
