Stuff and Money in the Time of the French Revolution
Rebecca L. Spang, who revolutionized our understanding of the restaurant, has written a new history of money. It is also a new history of the French Revolution, with economics at its heart. In her telling, radicalization was driven by an ever-widening gap between political ideals—including "freedom of money"—and the harsh realities of daily life.

Sister, Brother, Other, Same
They are so very similar. And, yet, they are not the same. Leonore Davidoff’s Thicker than Water: Siblings and their Relations, 1780–1920 and C. Dallett Hemphill’s Siblings: Brothers and Sisters in American History share even more than their titles (and common publisher) might suggest. Both, of course, are histories of siblings: books that ask how many sisters and brothers people once had, how they interacted, and what they imagined the ideal rel…
L'individu au menu
Le restaurant, pense-t-on souvent, ne fait que satisfaire un besoin physiologique et n'aurait donc pas évolué au cours de l'histoire. Pourtant, les principales caractéristiques attendues d'un restaurant - les tables individuelles, la carte du menu, les horaires - ne sont ni universelles ni atemporelles. Elles résultent d'un développement historique spécifique, associé à l'émergence de l'individualisme moderne, et favorisé par la commercialisation…
Money, Money, Money
Most things in life – automobiles, mistresses, cancer – are important only to those who have them. Money, in contrast, is equally important to those who have it and those who don’t. John Kenneth Galbraith, Money: Whence it Came, Where it Went, 1975.

And They Ate the Zoo
The group, the World Society for the Protection of Animals, said it has received reports that Iraqi soldiers have killed and eaten most of the deer, antelope and other edible mammals in the zoo. The society, which said its information came from humane groups in the Middle East and other sources, reported on Friday that all of the zoo's attendants had fled and that the Iraqis were not permitting the animals to be fed
