Summary

Historical Fiction Demand explores the enduring popularity of historical narratives and their impact on contemporary reading habits. This book uses a data-driven analysis to investigate why readers are consistently drawn to stories of Vikings, Roman emperors, and ancient dynasties. One intriguing insight reveals how reader preferences have evolved over time, reflecting current anxieties and aspirations rather than mere nostalgia. The book also highlights the methodologies used to gauge these trends, emphasizing the importance of understanding reader engagement for the publishing industry and historical scholarship.

 
The book begins by tracing the origins and evolution of historical fiction, examining influential authors and seminal works. It then delves into an exhaustive analysis of publicly available reading polls from the past two decades, exploring regional variations, demographic influences, and the impact of film and television adaptations on book sales. By combining quantitative analysis with qualitative examination of literary criticism and reader reviews, Historical Fiction Demand offers practical insights for authors, publishers, and educators alike, demonstrating how carefully selected reading polls reliably reflect overall interest in historical sagas.

    The Impeachment Power - The Law...

    We are witnessing an unprecedented moment in American politics in which impeachments are increasingly common. In today's partisan environment, it is more vital than ever that government officials, scholars, and ordinary citizens understand what an impeachment can reasonably be expected to accomplish. In this incisive and accessible book, Keith Whittington provides needed clarity on the constitutional power of impeachment. 
     
     
     
    Drawing insights from American and British history, congressional practice, and the language of the Constitution itself, Whittington shows how impeachment is a tool for checking abuses of elective office and defending constitutional norms. While we have come to associate impeachment with the presidency, it can be used to remedy gross misconduct by an array of officers of the federal government. Whittington cautions against abusing this immense and consequential power to settle political scores, demonstrating how it undermines the independence of the branches and makes Congress the seat of political power. 
     
     
     
    A must-listen for the informed citizen, The Impeachment Power argues that impeachment is ultimately a political instrument and gives us the perspective we need to recognize when an impeachment might be useful and when we are better served by looking for alternative ways to solve our political problems.

Flying Snakes and Griffin Claws is a treasury of fifty of her most amazing and amusing discoveries.
    
    The book explores such subjects as how mirages inspired legends of cities in the sky; the true identity of winged serpents in ancient Egypt; how ghost ships led to the discovery of the Gulf Stream; and the beauty secrets of ancient Amazons. Other pieces examine Arthur Conan Doyle's sea serpent and Geronimo's dragon; Flaubert's obsession with ancient Carthage; ancient tattooing practices; and the strange relationship between wine goblets and women's breasts since the times of Helen of Troy and Marie Antoinette. And there's much, much more.
