What Churchill And Orwell Had In Common: Both Could Say, 'My Side Is Wrong' According to author Tom Ricks, both George Orwell (left) and Winston Churchill paid a price for speaking up. AP hide caption toggle caption According to author Tom Ricks, both George Orwell (left) and Winston Churchill paid a price for speaking up. Journalist Tom Ricks used to write about the present. But Ricks says the wars following Sept. 11 wore him down; so he left daily journalism, moved to an island off the coast of Maine and wrote a history called Churchill and Orwell — as in the British prime minister and the author of 1984. According to Ricks, both Winston Churchill and George Orwell lived through World War II and had a shared outlook on the war. Another key point, he says, is that they were "both willing to say, 'No, my side is wrong on this Interview Highlights On how Churchill challenged his conservative party's position on Nazi Germany Churchill in the 1930s breaks with his own party over the issue of Nazi Germany. ...

What ancient DNA tells us about humans and Neanderthals Two new genetic analyses help explain the unexpected roles Neanderthals play in modern human life — influencing everything from hair color to mental health. The new research also adds to evidence that Neanderthals lived in small, isolated communities, while a third study suggests that early modern humans may have developed large social networks that facilitated the exchange of mates and ideas. The findings help explain what exactly Neanderthal DNA is doing in many modern human genomes, and how it affects our health. Piecing together the sex lives of our human ancestors may also help us understand how and when these genes were exchanged. All together, the three studies — published in various journals last week — contribute key clues to the mystery of why humans survived to populate the globe, even as our close cousins, the Neanderthals, died out. Modern humans, or Homo sapiens, and Neanderthals shared a common ancestor roughly half a million years ago. A new ancient Neanderthal genome
My Galaxies The real story behind the assassination of Julius Caesar On Feb. 15, in the year 44 BC, Julius Caesar, the all-powerful ruler of Rome, visited a soothsayer named Spurinna, who “predicted the future by examining the internal organs of sacrificial animals,” among other omens. Enlarge Image As per the ritual, Caesar “sacrificed a bull,” and Spurinna “made the chilling announcement that the beast had no heart.” Brave Caesar was “unmoved,” but Spurinna said that he feared Caesar’s life “might come to a bad end,” and warned the dictator that “his life would be in danger for the next 30 days.” He did not say anything about the “Ides of March,” just one difference of many between the version of Caesar’s assassination presented by William Shakespeare and the likely truth, according to Cornell University history professor Barry Strauss’ new book, “The Death of Caesar.” In 45 BC, Rome was emerging from five years of civil war and policy debates concerned the very nature of the Roman Republic. Caesar understood how to nurture the love of his people.
Celebrating five years of Oxford Bibliographies The librarians at Bates College first became interested in Oxford Bibliographies a little over five years ago. We believed there was great promise for a new resource OUP was developing, in which scholars around the world would be contributing their expertise by selecting citations, commenting on them, and placing them in context for end users. It would be an innovative approach for finding authoritative and trusted sources, and one that was likely to work well in an online environment. In the summer of 2010, our research librarians agreed that they would really like to see how we might make use of Oxford Bibliographies at our undergraduate liberal arts institution. Along with other libraries, we were able to offer our ideas in the early months when a core list of subject modules was already in place, with additional ones being worked on in the wings. The platform and resource itself evolved rapidly. Why has this resource worked for our college?
