cover design of the day
one of the best cover designs i have come across this month. margaret mcmillan, uses and abuses of history [this is just about the cover. i do not know anything about the author or this particular book.]
Uses and Abuses of History is a well-written, intelligent book by a major historian. Mitchell noted how many politicians would say things like "history tells us X" and "the verdict of history is Y" in order to push their agendas. She looked at some of these sayings and compared them to what actually happened in history.
