Gender differences in global estimates of cooking frequency prior to Covid-19
The frequency of cooking at home has not been assessed globally.

The Formation of the Chinese Communist Party
Official Chinese narratives recounting the rise of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) have tended to minimize its provocative influences and associations, therefore preventing a full understanding of the movement's complex origins. Conducting careful readings and translations of recently released documents in Russian, Japanese, and Chinese, Ishikawa Yoshihiro builds a portrait of the party's truly multinational character, revealing the early force…
