History is just one damned thing6/10/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() (One of my favorite Taylor legends has him arriving at the studio in 1953 to give a talk about Napoleon, only to be told of Stalin's death and asked to lecture instead on the life of a very different dictator-which he did, in his unflappable way.) He was the only person who could get Oxford undergraduates out of bed early in the morning-and in vast numbers, to sit in the chilly Examination Schools and listen to him talk (for exactly fifty-five minutes and again without notes) on modern European history.Īlan Taylor wrote one of the most enduring works of diplomatic history, The Struggle for Mastery in Europe 1848-1918 (1954, and never out of print), yet he also wrote potboilers that swiftly faded from sight and use. He was one of the first of the British "telly dons," who could stand in front of the camera and pontificate without notes about virtually anything. He was that diminutive bow-tied Oxford academic who, with Canon Collins and Michael Foot, marched in protests organized by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.

And that’s ok as far as I’m concerned, as it sounds like the author is feeling optimistic about the trajectory of the story, which is a good sign. In my books youll find stories of men and women finding their inner strength when all seems lost. I figured Id write you myself than have corporate copy pasted below my totally natural author photo. But it sounds like it’s still too soon to know when Book 6 will be released, as it’s still being written. Im Pierce Brown, the author of the Red Rising Saga, a NYT 1 bestseller.

It was a shot of three beautiful girls, obviously sisters, all blonde, posing together by a pool, and even at first glance all I could think was that they looked like the kind of girls who had everything. I picked it open and started to flip through it, looking at the sports shots, different classes, and finally the senior pages, which were filled with personal photos from each of the graduates. One day, I was sitting in the lobby of a private school, waiting to do a talk, when I saw a yearbook on the table beside me. ![]() I had a couple of ideas kicking around in my head, some things I knew I wanted to do, but nothing concrete just yet. It was the fall of 2004, and I was about to start a new book. Other times, though, you can trace a story’s beginning back to a specific moment. The truth is, sometimes I don’t even know: rather than just one big moment, it’s often a lot of little random thoughts, scribbled notes on scraps of paper and backs of receipts, that make up a novel. People are always interested to learn where a story comes from, and I’m often asked where I get the ideas for my books.

The book is over 400 pages and published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., under the For Dummies brand, which boasts over 2,400 titles (Wiley 2020a).

After a brief conversation, she urged me to read it and participate in the podcast. ![]() At the time, I had no idea how right I’d be about that.Ī close friend and colleague, Mellanie Ramsey, mentioned she was going to review the book on a podcast. I’ve amassed quite a collection of “How to Ghost Hunt” type books since the 1990s, and I didn’t see any possibility of Bagans offering anything new-especially given his spotless track record of completely failing to find good evidence of ghosts during his decade-plus on television. When I saw the first announcements on social media that semi-celebrity Zak Bagans was releasing a new book titled Ghost Hunting for Dummies, I immediately groaned, deciding I’d pass on reviewing it. I know that will likely give away the tone of this overall piece, but it’s just my honest reaction. ![]() I really did not want to read the book this article is about. ![]() |
