@NicholasGuyatt Congrats to you and Christa! Just bought my copy at Harvard Book Store, already digging in. I’ve SO been waiting for this book! Hope you make it across the pond for a talk.

Edward Gray, who passed away unexpectedly, was an award-winning cultural historian. 

In this excerpt from his book, Mason-Dixon, he shows how the Maryland-Pennsylvania boundary was significant as a dividing line well before Mason and Dixon mapped it.

It was such a pleasure chatting with @CindyXiaodanYu about my book for the Chinese Whispers podcast. I’ve been listening to the podcast for a while now and it was an honour to be on the other side.

A few highlights…

One week from tonight in Chicago! I’ll be talking about my book with one of my favorite people (Mark Bradley) at one of my favorite bookstores (@SeminaryCoop)!

(Note: promoting a book is weird and hard and self-alienating, but this kind of thing is a dream come true.)

[Brian K. Goodman @BrianKGoodman]

Dear Chicago people: I’ll be talking about my book, THE NONCONFORMISTS, at @SeminaryCoop (one of my favorite places!) in two weeks. Come say hi!

Seeing so much mockery of the suspect’s name alongside mockery of #StopAsianHate. Guess what: you’re perpetuating Asian hate if you make a mockery of this horrific and heartbreaking situation. Please stop.

The Mongols have been either neglected by history or unfairly represented as mindlessly destructive barbarians.

A flattering review of my book, in Czech, from a Czech perspective, by @JakubRakosnik. I love it when a reviewer truly "gets" a book. Praise is always nice, too, of course. @HarvardUPLondon @Harvard_Press
