As professional 21st-century historians cede the literary field to the popular amateur, history and its meanings become muddled - especially in the punditocracy championed by modern media. Copious amounts of cherry-picked facts and manufactured heroes are used to create a narrative rather than give any insight into past events. MacMillan offers an antidote to this by providing the necessary tools to help interpret history in constructive ways.

I never planned on seeing Grayson Kilpatrick again, for a few reasons: 1. I didn't have a way to get in touch with him. 2. He'd been recruited to play football for Ohio. 3.

My parents have helped out while I've been at school. I've had a plan...and now, I'm moving forward...until Grayson Kilpatrick makes a reappearance and upends all my plans. Again.

Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times called him "one of the unsung heroes of modern times." Fazle Hasan Abed was a mild-mannered accountant who may be the most influential man most people have never even heard of. A former finance executive with almost no experience in relief aid, he founded BRAC, originally the Bangladesh Rehabilitation Assistance Committee, in 1972, aiming to help a few thousand war refugees. A half century later, BRAC is by many measures the largest nongovernmental organization in the world-and by many accounts, the most effective anti-poverty program ever.

It’s completely natural to want to avoid pain, because it feels “bad,” we instinctively resist it, ignore it, override it, and generally try to get rid of it as quickly as possible. Sometimes, we try to numb ourselves or escape–through painkillers, drugs, or alcohol; through distractions like shopping and overworking; or even through exercise or spiritual practices–because those are the only tools we know for dealing with it.

My new roommate doesn't seem to like me... But then, she doesn't seem to like her boyfriend much, either, so maybe that's just the way she is. Until one night, when her boyfriend won't take no for an answer, I have to step in, and I realize the grumpy attitude she's given me since I moved in is because she's been dating a douchebag.
