I particularly liked a number of the vignettes. The book is organized around a transcontinental plane flight from London to Paris, where the author goes through various liquids that he encounters along the journey, from the engine fuel at the beginning to the soap in the washroom and adhesive in the plane's wings in the middle, and finally to the fog upon landing in San Francisco. This book gives practical insights into liquids, things that we constantly see in everyday life but have very subtle physics, chemistry, and biology. I read Mark Miodownik's book, Liquid Rules: The Delightful and Dangerous Substances That Flow Through Our Lives, with great interest. ![]() 6/24/2023 0 Comments The Premonition by Michael Lewis![]() We know they will think about us this way because that’s how we think about our own forebears.

The political project of the Confederacy was tried by its own people and failed. That Confederate struggle played out in a highly charged international arena. The attempt to repress a majority of its own population backfired on the Confederate States of America as the disenfranchised demanded to be counted and considered in the great struggle over slavery, emancipation, democracy, and nationhood. Women and slaves became critical political actors as they contested government enlistment and tax and welfare policies, and struggled for their freedom. Wartime scarcity of food, labor, and soldiers tested the Confederate vision at every point and created domestic crises to match those found on the battlefields. Although Southern statesmen and generals had built the most powerful slave regime in the Western world, they had excluded the majority of their own people-white women and slaves-and thereby sowed the seeds of their demise. ![]() ![]() When the grandiosity of Southerners' national ambitions met the harsh realities of wartime crises, unintended consequences ensued.
