  • The 2017 Atlantic Hurricane Season Has Not Been Historically Unusual0

    The 2017 Atlantic hurricane season got an early start with Arlene in April, but the most powerful storms didn’t start to hit until the last week of August, when Hurricane Harvey flooded Texas and Louisiana.

    The 2010s: A Decade of Disappearing Youth in America0

    As we enter the 2020s, the world has become increasingly cognizant of the need for more babies after a decade of worryingly low growth.

The contrast between the whip-wielding adventurer and his chosen profession made a beautiful irony, since the stereotype of the historian is

  • The 1619 Project and Its Critics0

Much of this attention has come from professional historians who are nonplussed by the numerous misstatements of fact, the disappearance of
