Description

Doc Evatt, an influential Australian politician and jurist, played a notable role in shaping Israel’s early international standing. As President of the UN General Assembly in 1948, he was a strong advocate for the UN partition plan that led to the creation of the State of Israel. Plus sailor and author Tim Queeney examines the fundamental role that rope has played in shaping human civilisation, from enabling the construction of the Egyptian pyramids to facilitating Magellan’s historic circumnavigation and the building of iconic structures like the Brooklyn Bridge.
