The commemoration of the massive (and tragic) Donghak peasant rebellion of 1894 in Jeongeup, South Korea. The columns refer to the 90 places involved and the names of the identified victims are added to each year. The ring reminds us never to forget. There is no memorial like this to 1789 in France.

A superb example of environmental history which integrates sensory experience, cultural identity, art, politics and economics in a beautifully written and gorgeous book.

For people in Melbourne, this digitally augmented 3D exhibition on the history and reconstruction of Notre Dame de Paris is a must see, now on at the Immigration Museum.

David Gilks' new book is a treasure-trove of illuminating detail and ideas. Warmly recommended.

Maybe not just crooks?
