Always seeking patterns and hidden connections, she uncovers how Spain's destiny was shaped by mountains, analyses traffic etiquette in Ho Chi Minh City, reveals secrets hidden in the geometry at the Parthenon and how Irish syntax builds a world view.This is much more than a travelogue—it's a journey into the forces that shape nations and define cultures.
