• An article (“‘We cleared the rubble with our bare hands’: Mosul rises from the ruins”, 2 March, p32) featured as its main image a picture of Al-Tahera church, which is being restored as part of Unesco’s Revive the Spirit of Mosul project. But in quoting Layla Salih, an archaeologist in the region, we did not make clear that Al-Tahera church (Upper Monastery), where Salih is leading a reconstruction team, is a different church being rebuilt under a separate project in Mosul’s Al-Shifa district. Also, the cost of the Unesco project is $115m, not $50m as suggested elsewhere in the article.
• The surname of Nicholas W Zamiska, the co-author of The Technological Republic: Hard Power, Soft Belief and the Future of the West, was misspelled as Zapiska (“Is the best defence against AI more AI?”, 2 March, New Review, p22).
• An article said William Boyd’s novel Gabriel’s Moon would be published in April. This is true for the paperback version; the hardback was published in September 2024 (“The name’s Boyd: novelist on 007’s future in the AI era”, 2 March, p11).
