By Holly Tucker
While Wonders &#38; Marvels hums along as usual (with the help of my amazing editorial team), I’m actually spending the summer in France.  Yes, France.  To be more precise, the South of France.  Aix-en-Provence.  Yes, it’s a rough life.
I’m here teaching at my university’s study abroad [...]]]></description>

When I set out to write a book about Fred Harvey&#8211;who all but invented the American hospitality industry at his trackside restaurants and hotels between Chicago and Los Angeles along the Santa Fe&#8211;I thought I’d be writing a business biography set in the late 1800s, with some nice historical touches of the Wild [...]]]></description>

By Jed Z. Buchwald and Diane Greco Josefowicz
In August 1799, Napoleon returned to France from an ill-fated imperial adventure in Egypt, leaving behind a demoralized force headed by Jean-Baptiste Kléber, the Revolutionary hero shortly to be assassinated in Cairo. &#8220;L&#8217;oiseau était déniché&#8221; was how the disappointed Kleber described Napoleon’s departure: The bird had flown the [...]]]></description>

By Jessica DuLong
In the summer of 1932, the phrase “planned obsolescence” was born—conceived by a Manhattan real-estate broker named Bernard London as a remedy for the Depression then wracking the nation. He proposed that the government “assign a lease of life to shoes and homes and machines, to all products of manufacture,” after which time [...]]]></description>

Over the past few years, I’ve noticed that the world history courses taught in school have been getting broader and broader in their scope. Far from focusing mainly on Europe, classes now delve into Asia, Africa, and Latin America, among other regions. On the one hand, I suppose this is a good thing, [...]]]></description>

When we use the phrase “a Renaissance man” we typically think of someone of cultivated tastes, diverse cultural interests, and multiple talents.  Cyriacus of Ancona was a true Renaissance man, but in a very different way.  A self-made merchant and traveler, he became a diplomat and spy, hobnobbing with kings, emperors, [...]]]></description>

The big idea behind Paris: The Secret History is to tell the story of Paris from the point of view of what the French historian Louis Chevalier calls the &#8216;dangerous classes&#8217;.  By this, Chevalier means drinkers, vagabonds, anarchists, prostitutes, drug addicts, sexual outsiders &#8211; all those who are outside &#8216;official&#8217; histories of the [...]]]></description>

My research for East of the Sun began when I was five years old and met a remarkable woman called Mrs. Smith Pearse.  She was in her sixties and had just returned from twenty years of living in India.

Superficially, she was a classic Memsahib- the literal translation means wife of the Sahib, the [...]]]></description>

On April 17, 1610, the English sea captain Henry Hudson maneuvered his small ship called Discovery out of St. Katherine’s dock in London toward the Northwest Passage, the water route Europeans believed connected the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. On board were twenty-two men and two boys, one of whom was Hudson’s seventeen-year [...]]]></description>
