Or was it a carefully regulated culture in which the uncontrollable excess of laughter was a force to fear-a world of wit, irony, and knowing smiles? How did Romans make sense of laughter? What role did it play in the world of the law courts, the imperial palace, or the spectacles of the arena?

Chaucer wrote about everyday people outside the walls of the English court-men and women who spent days at the pedal of a loom, or maintaining the ledgers of an estate, or on the high seas. In Chaucer's People, Liza Picard transforms The Canterbury Tales into a masterful guide for a gloriously detailed tour of medieval England, from the mills and farms of a manor house to the lending houses and Inns of Court in London.  In Chaucer's People, we meet, again, the motley crew of pilgrims on the road to Canterbury.

In February 1869, a chemistry professor in St. Petersburg was late with a textbook, short on sleep, and out of ideas. He wrote the elements on cards and started shuffling them the way a man shuffles a deck of patience. What came out of that afternoon was not a filing system. It was the discovery that matter has a shape. Dmitri Mendeleev arranged the elements by the only quantity he could measure, atomic weight, and then did the thing that made him great rather than merely industrious: when the pattern disagreed with the measurements, he sided with the pattern.

Someone wants me dead. And the Russian monster I've been running from?
