Knidos, Again

John Elkington · 11 June 2022 · Leave a Comment

It’s quite some time since we were last in Knidos, back in 2014. and when we got back to London we made a beeline to the British Museum to visit the missing Lion.

The site has evolved substantially since we visited last. The city flourished in Greek and Roman times, closely surrounded by the islands of Kos, Nisyros and Tilos.

In the afternoon, we sailed back to Bodrum, standing offshore for some time before our captain could find a suitable final berth, under the castle walls.

Introduction

I began this blog with an entry reporting on a visit to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on Cape Cod, on 30 September 2003. The blog element of the website has gone through several iterations since, with much of the older material still available.

Like so many things in my life, blog entries blur the boundaries between the personal and the professional. As explained on this site’s Home Page, the website and the blog are part platform for ongoing projects, part autobiography, and part accountability mechanism.

In addition, my blogs have appeared on many sites such as: Chinadialogue, CSRWire, Fast Company, GreenBiz, Guardian Sustainable Business, and the Harvard Business Review.
