Wright and Cowen, who have separately written important scholarly works on the financial history of the early republic, here repackage their research for readers of popular history, and do so impressively.

I do, in fact, have a book club. I meet with a couple of guys once a month of a lunchtime discussion of some interesting text, usually, but not always, philosophical.

I was always a big Justice League fan. I always loved Batman, Superman - I have a weird Martian Manhunter fixation.

I didnt want to write a book that suggested that magic good/technology bad.

I enjoy my pettiness with a dose of wit.

In my research, what I found most interesting was how common and ordinary magic was to people in the past.
