One of the best things about meeting new people is how they influence your thinking. So it's no coincidence that the day after meeting Dr Gemma Masson that I find myself reading about the Ottoman Empire. Sorry, Gemma, I'm focusing on its dissolution in the 20th century.

Richard Feynman's Lectures on Physics are timeless: their main strength is in demonstrating how to reason about physics. You may not know all the lectures are completely online:

Volume 1: feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/I_toc.html
Volume 2: feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/II_toc.html
Volume 3: feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/III_toc.html

The Met Office & ODIclimate funded MENA project used #climate model projections to explore how the Middle East and North Africa region could be impacted by #ClimateChange by the 2050s.
