The Notebook - A History of Thinking on Paper
The Notebook - A History of Thinking on Paper
The simple act of moving pen across paper has been our most valuable tool for thinking for eight hundred years - from the wonders of the renaissance in Da Vinci's sketchbooks to the scientific breakthroughs recorded in Marie Curie's still-radioactive notebooks. Blank ledgers revolutionised trade in medieval Italy, while seafarers' logbooks charted new horizons in the Age of Discovery. Agatha Christie plotted a hundred murders in her exercise books, and nurses today use diaries to ease the traumatic recovery of coma patients.
Rich, absorbing and wholly original, The Notebook reveals the surprising and profound influence that blank pages have had on art, science, our past and our future.

We clean up after ourselves.
Ecommerce deliveries have a carbon footprint. That's why we support verified projects that remove carbon from the air.
Every delivery’s carbon footprint is calculated based on weight, shipping method, and distance traveled. We neutralize these emissions by purchasing verified carbon removal credits from groundbreaking projects. When you add a contribution to your order, 100% of that money is used to pay for additional carbon removal.
With your purchase, you’ll join a community of proactive merchants and customers dedicated to a sustainable future. Together, we've removed emissions for over 48 million deliveries and removed over 35 thousand tonnes of carbon.
We work with a network of pioneering carbon removal companies that have been vetted by the commerce platform Shopify.
