Evening launch
Our book launch had two sessions in the morning and the evening. During the evening we had talks by Seppe Cassettari on how mapping technology influenced our book and Berenice Smith on the story behind our book and self publishing. They were so popular, we had to run them twice! Here Seppe, is taking questions from the audience.
