تعليقات على هذا: لا شيء بعد. أضفت ك خاصّة. تاريخ لا يضطرّ كنت ثقبت. الحقيقة العالم (أو على الأقلّ الالسّكان إنسانيّة) قد حصل [أس فر س] هو يكون مصدر من فتنة لانهائيّة, وقصة أنّ يحتاج أن يكون قلت وقلت جيّدا. نحن في [نيدكفّ] اكتشاف هو بائس أنّ هناك هكذا كثير تاريخ نصوص خارجا هناك أنّ يكون هكذا جافّة. Mental Floss' answer to these deadly dull texts is instead, as they describe it, "An Irreverent Romp Thought Civilization's Best Bits." The authors of The Mental Floss History of the World strive (and for the most part, succeed) in presenting the history of the world in a light and interesting manner. Each chapter of the book has different sections. We start off with "In a Nutshell," which lays out the basics of the particular period, followed by a brief timeline of "What Happened When." Following that are sections and tiny inset blurbs with more details about particular topics of interest (the Reformation, the cast of characters you need to know to understand the Enlightenment, etc.) Next is the "Spinning the Globe" section, which tells you what's going on all over the world during the period. Then come the bits that I find the most interesting. "Who's Up, Who's Down" explores which civilizations are doing well or poorly during the period, often with fun titles like "The Huns: Up, Down, Who Cares? As Long As We Can Break Something." Next is a section for noteworthy social trivia, often including key inventions and discoveries during the period, influential people or political and social movements. Some of the most fascinating trivia comes from this section. Finally comes "By the Numbers" with pertinent statistics from the period (apparently, Taft weighed 340 pounds in 1912). And then on to the next chapter? The sections can be a bit confusing at times because of all of the inset material, but there is enough chronological and geographical flow (and wit) within each chapter to make it easy reading.

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own. ![]() Okay, so this is nuts. I didn't realize this press release had gone out when we posted our last Poe bit, otherwise I would have included it. Bloomsbury Auctions in New York apparently has an unpublished manuscript from Mr. Poe with "never before seen verse." It's going up for auction on December 10th. It's a version of "Irene" or "The Sleeper" and it showed up in rural Virginia. There's little point in me reiterating the press release to you, since it's just really wild and cool and all. So the full text is below for your dancing and dining pleasure. I checked the Bloomsbury website--no updates on this and no image. I've pinged them to see if there's anything else we can share on this. Categorized as: Books

Comments on this: just one. Add your own. ![]() So Baltimore has a huge celebration of Edgar Allan Poe planned, since 2009 is his 200th birthday. That's on January 19th. But they're apparently having stuff all year long. You can read all about it at their official site, but here's the bit that really caught my attention: They're apparently re-interring Poe's remains next to his grandfather, grandmother and brother Henry in Westminster cemetery on October 10th. On October 7th, the date of his death, they're having a public viewing of his body before he's laid to rest again. And then on the 10th a funeral service. I thought I was doing good to share a cup of coffee with Poe's bust at the Poe Museum a few years back. And now I actually the opportunity to see him. On one hand, that's sorta kinda morbid as hell. On the other hand, that's still sorta kinda morbid as hell. On the third hand I keep in the drawer of my desk for just such an occasion...holy crap, I want to be there. Categorized as: Books

Comments on this: just one. Add your own. ![]() Eoin Colfer, creator of Artemis Fowl, is being tapped by Douglas Adams' widow, Jane Belson, and the literary agency who manages the Adams estate to write a sixth Hitchhiker's Guide book. This is not, it seems, a job where he is finishing a heretofore unknown unfinished Adams work--Colfer is picking up where Mostly Harmless left off (i.e., an actual ending) and running with it. Apparently Adams himself had kicked around the idea of a sixth book, but that's about it. The book is called And Another Thing... and is due out from Penguin in October of 2009. Now. I have not read the Fowl books. I do not know Colfer. He might be a fantastic writer. And I, of course, don't know what he has planned for this book. It could turn out to be the book that calms the raging tides of dissent among humanity and brings peace to the world, helping us evolve into a state of pure bliss. We will know come next October. And if I am misjudging the situation then I will say so when the time is right. Categorized as: Books
