That's fantastic news, David! ?? "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." - Nelson Mandela. This book is a key to unlocking the often overlooked contributions of Africa to classical architecture. ?? Speaking of making a world-changing impact, there's a unique opportunity with the Guinness World Record of Tree Planting sponsored by Treegens.
