Wind Chill Factor photo by Sylvia Bell. The titles ‘Guns, Germs And Steel’ and ‘Stick A Geranium In Your Hat’ were suggested by a reading of the late Michael King's 2003 book 'The Penguin History of New Zealand’. ‘Your Good Habits Won’t Save You’ are the words of Fran Lebowitz during the Netflix series 'Pretend It's A City’. 'Overshoot, Balance and Contrast' is dedicated to master typeface designer Jonathan Hoefler.
