When scholars write the history of the world twenty years from now, what will they say was the most crucial development in the first few years of the twenty-first century? The attacks on the World Trade Center on 9/11 and the Iraq war? Or the convergence of technology and events that allowed India, China, and so many other countries to become part of the global supply chain for services and manufacturing, creating an explosion of wealth in the middle classes of the world's two biggest nations?

Delaware: the First State, the Forgotten State, and the strangest little powerhouse you never paid attention to. This is not your high school history textbook. From Lenape fishing villages to Dutch and Swedish turf wars, from Caesar Rodney’s wheezing midnight ride to the explosive rise of DuPont, Delaware has been shaping America while pretending to be invisible. Along the way it perfected the art of being indispensable without being noticed: chickens, chemicals, corporations, and boardwalks all rolled into one.

On the edge of the world's largest mirror—a salt flat so white it blinds—there are shrines. Small, white-washed altars, some with offerings of dried flowers or handwritten notes, others dark and empty. Luna returns to this strange landscape each episode to open her leather journal and read a story tied to the salt. These are not ghost stories. They are records of the desperate, the devout, and the disappeared: a bride who walked into the salt and never returned, a geologist who found a crack that led not down but sideways, a sect of flagellants whose prayers left salt-encrusted wounds. The...

The world is filled with mysteries, and even in the modern age, much of the planet remains unexplored. The depths of the oceans and the intricate and extensive cave systems that honeycomb some parts of the Earth are still largely unknown. Thus, it should come as no surprise that when it comes to this terra incognita, people have projected all sorts of ideas. Tales of sunken cities or lost civilizations are just some of the fanciful theories, and those could even be considered tame in comparison to the idea that Earth is flat.

Enid Yandell (October 6, 1870 - June 13, 1934) was a distinguished American sculptor who honed her craft under the guidance of renowned artists Auguste Rodin and Frederick William MacMonnies. Known for her portraiture, garden sculptures, and public monuments, Yandell also spent time in Paris, where she maintained a studio. In her semi-autobiographical book, *Three Girls in a Flat*, she recounts her experiences as a sculptor for the Horticultural Building at the 1893 Worlds Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Co-written with two friends, this episodic narrative follows the lives of three young ...

When Dawn House purchased a teetering cabin in Southern Utah, she didn't have it torn down for scrap but began to examine the layers of its wallpaper, encrusted with paste and the yellow of time. She found an extraordinary story within: of pioneer misfortune, lost loves, struggles against nature, ordinary homesteading, and the formation of modern Utah.

Critics hated it. The public feared it would topple over. Passersby were knocked down by the winds. But even before it was completed, the Flatiron Building had become an unforgettable part of New York City. The Flatiron Building was built by the Chicago-based Fuller Company - a group founded by George Fuller, "the father of the skyscraper" - to be their New York headquarters. The company's president, Harry Black, was never able to make the public call the Flatiron the Fuller Building, however. In The Flatiron, Alice Sparberg Alexiou chronicles not just the story of the building but the heady times in New York at the dawn of the 20th century.

In this book, historian Robert C. Stern analyzes the Battle of the Coral Sea, the first major fleet engagement where the warships were never in sight of each other. Unlike the Battle of Midway, the Battle of the Coral Sea has received remarkably little study. Stern covers not only the action of the ships and their air groups but also describes the impact of this pivotal engagement.
