  Popularizing the Past tells the stories of five postwar historians who changed the way ordinary Americans thought about their nation’s history. 
    
  What’s the matter with history? For decades, critics of the discipline have argued that the historical profession is dominated by scholars unable, or perhaps even unwilling, to write for the public. In Popularizing the Past, Nick Witham challenges this interpretation by telling the stories of five historians—Richard Hofstadter, Daniel Boorstin, John Hope Franklin, Howard Zinn, and Gerda Lerner—who, in the decades after World War II, published widely read books of national history. 
    
  Witham compellingly argues that we should understand historians’ efforts to engage with the reading public as a vital part of their postwar identity and mission. He shows how the lives and writings of these five authors were fundamentally shaped by their desire to write histories that captivated both scholars and the elusive general reader. He also reveals how these authors’ efforts could not have succeeded without a publishing industry and a reading public hungry to engage with the cutting-edge ideas then emerging from American universities. As Witham’s book makes clear, before we can properly understand the heated controversies about American history so prominent in today’s political culture, we must first understand the postwar effort to popularize the past.

  A compact and charming history of the beloved handcrafted font by the New York Times bestselling author of Just My Type. 
   
   
   
  Albertus, first carved on a bronze tablet in the 1930s by German Jewish refugee Berthold Wolpe, has proved to be one of the most enduring handcrafted typefaces in the world. It is at once modern and timeless, authoritative and whimsical—renowned as the typeface of London Street signs, David Bowie albums, and Star Wars movie posters. In this unique celebration, bestselling author Simon Garfield charts the story of the creation of Albertus, its innumerable and vibrant uses, and the erratic brilliance of its designer, as recounted by Wolpe's children. Through his exploration of this singular font, Garfield grapples with one of the most fundamental artistic questions: what makes great art not only survive but flourish in each new age and medium?

  When the Holy Spirit reveled to the author, Ernest Martin, a veterinarian with a medical background, that the spiritual birth was identical to the physical birth, this revelation became a life-changing experience. People are always asking and seeking miracles. What is a greater miracle than a sperm uniting with an ovum (egg) and becoming a living cell with the potential to develop into a human being? That living cell (zygote) does not have any resemblance to a fetus. From the process of fertilization to the growth process, it is all programmed in the zygote to divide and multiply and to eventually liken to its mother or dad or a combination of both. 
  Just like when we receive Jesus as our Savior, we become a whole spiritual being in the image of God. We don't look or act much like Jesus at this stage. We look more like the zygote, but we are complete in Jesus. If we desire the sincere milk of the Word and then progress to the meat of the Word, we will grow up into the full stature of Jesus. This process is so well-defined in the physical birth process that we can see how we grow as we spend time in the Word that we may eventually look and act like Jesus Christ. 
  What a miracle and life-changing event to understand the growth process ordained and carried out by God Almighty.
