It has been a long week to produce this section of the saga. Wishing you a lovely and fantastic weekend.

I have included an extended a review of geographic critical thinking, using Prussia maps from different sources. All these maps belong to the 18th century. The geographic context looks simple on the surface, but it is one that embraces multiple dimensions of our contextual strategic analysis. When watching the past, and relying on historians and historiographers, it is crucial to cross-check from different views. Geography maps, help us to see things differently. Each map adds something that we may discover. Once we overlap the maps of industries, natural resources, roads, climate, soils, etc; then we can begin to infer a whole new panorama that was not seen before.

We have pushed the counter-enlightenment canon for next week.

The following sets of slides are self-explanatory. It is a long document (38 pages), and we expect you to read them over the weekend. I will add some paragraphs of strategic reflection then. But honestly, I think I have covered everything in the slides. Feel free to download them and/or print them for future reference.

Announcement. Our next publication will be next Friday 25th of August. We will continue our journey with the Counter-Enlightenment. Take notice that our outline is subject to change. If we feel that we need to dig deeper into one of the subjects or themes of our saga, we make the changes accordingly. Blessings and thank you for reading our episodes.
