Be that as it may, this violates the tacit understanding between authors / publishers and reviewers that proofs are not shared.

Exactly

Well said. I confess to putting many of the hard copy proofs I receive in the recycling after reading. There’s nowhere else for them to go. Can’t donate, because they’re a proofs. Don’t need to keep.

Such a fun evening!

I’m actually so glad it’s sped up 😂

That’s so kind of you. I think it’s a bit too soon for me to arrange everything, but thank you for the offer anyway!

One of the most daring theological works of the C17th, published by Elizabeth Avery in 1647. It reconsiders every mainstream Protestant teaching about the apocalypse, and caused her to be denounced as a heretic, including by her own brother. I tell Avery’s story in Voices of Thunder #earlymodern

This book applies the innovative work-task approach to the history of work, which captures the contribution of all workers and types of work to the early modern economy. Drawing on tens of thousands of court depositions, the authors analyse the individual tasks that made up everyday work for women and men, shedding new light on the gender division of labour, and the ways in which time, space, age and marital status shaped sixteenth and seventeenth-century working life. Combining qualitative and quantitative analysis, the book deepens our understanding of the preindustrial economy, and calls for us to rethink not only who did what, but also the implications of these findings for major debates about structural change, the nature and extent of paid work, and what has been lost as well as gained over the past three centuries of economic development. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

Episode two of the new season of my award-winning podcast series is now available.

I’ve been a producer for nearly two decades, but I think this is one of the most important things I’ve ever produced. It touches on something that is incredibly hard to confront - harm in spaces of trust.

I’m so very sorry

I’m so sorry for your loss
