Say it with us—a library loan is not a lost sale! 📚

Library purchases are purchases. They pay the press. The press counts them towards advances and royalties. And (gasp) the book is in a library!! It’s wonderful and no one should ever feel bad about getting a book through a library instead of buying it.

I got it from my local library system, which has 28 physical copies (more than half are checked out) and 4 audiobooks. The branch library is two blocks from my house so I get most of my books from there. Hope this helps because I loved the book - I'm not a historian and knew nothing of that period.

A Dutch study on the relationship between spending and visitors’ choice of transportation showed that, on a monthly basis, cyclists and pedestrians contribute about 25% more to total spending in centres than car users. dutchcycling.nl/knowledge/bl...

I am still amazed I was able to take these last summer with only my cell phone and a tripod.

Seeing that Nina has posted the fabulous Nijmegan helmet, how could I not post this bronze Roman cavalry sports mask with the features of a handsome young man wearing an elaborate diadem? Unfortunately, no provenance: *cough* loaned to the #MetMuseum by Shelby White and Leon Levy. *cough* 🏺

The size and extent of the Roman Empire required a professional standing army, and although Rome was not always at war, the troops had to be in a perpetual state of readiness. Training exercises, maneuvers, and drilling thus occupied much of the Roman soldier's time. Parades or tournaments, too, played an important part in maintaining morale and fighting effectiveness. These events involved mock battles in which the fighters were provided with highly decorative equipment, including masked helmets. This mask in dark bronze has the features of a handsome young man with a fringe of curly hair beneath an elaborate diadem with a floral design, but others present the faces of easterners (Parthíans), women (Amazons), or mythical figures (Medusa). Roman, 2nd century CE. No provenance. Met Museum (Collection of Shelby White and Leon Levy), New York (L.2007.8.1)

Everyone needs some dinosaurs in their life. And it's always fun to learn about a new-to-me species.

Digital painting of a herd of amagasauruses. The dinosaurs are mostly green with blue markings on their sails and there are six of them.
