Crucifixion, the Romans believed, was the worst fate imaginable, a punishment reserved for slaves. How astonishing it was, then, that people should have come to believe that one particular victim of crucifixion—an obscure provincial by the name of Jesus—was to be worshipped as a god.

We are on the cusp of the fastest, deepest, most consequential transformation of human civilization in history, a transformation every bit as significant as the move from foraging to cities and agriculture 10,000 years ago. During the 2020s, key technologies will converge to completely disrupt the five foundational sectors that underpin the global economy, and with them every major industry in the world today. In information, energy, food, transportation, and materials, costs will fall by a 10x or more, while production processes an order of magnitude more efficient will use 90% fewer ...

World War I wasn't just a war between empires. It was a turning point for humanity. It reshaped borders, destroyed monarchies, introduced weapons the world had never seen, and left millions dead. But beyond the trenches, treaties, and tanks, it was fought by people and entire nations struggling to survive. This isn’t just a timeline of dates and battles. This is the human story of the Great War—told with compassion, clarity, and historical depth.

During the 1920s, dozens of expeditions scoured the Chinese and Tibetan wilderness in search of the panda bear, a beast that many believed did not exist. When the two eldest sons of President Theodore Roosevelt sought the bear in 1928, they had little hope of success. Together with a team of scientists and naturalists, they accomplished what a decade of explorers could not, ultimately introducing the panda to the West. In the process, they documented a vanishing world and set off a new era of conservation biology.

From the streets of Petrograd during the heady autumn of 1917, to Mao's stunning victory in October 1949, and Fidel's triumphant arrival in Havana, in January 1959, the history of the twentieth century was transformed in dramatic and profound ways by the Russian, Chinese and Cuban revolutions. Here, the stories of these epoch-defining events are told together for the first time. At the heart of each revolution was an epic journey: Lenin's 1917 return to Russia from exile in Switzerland; Mao's 'Long March' of 1934-35, covering some 6,000 miles across China; and Fidel Castro's return to Cuba.

Captain William Kidd stands as one of the most notorious "pirate" outlaws ever, but his legend is tainted by a bed of lies. Having captivated imaginations for more than three hundred years and inspired many stories about pirates, troubling questions remain. Was he really a criminal or is the truth more inconvenient: that he was a buccaneer's worst nightmare, a revered pirate hunter turned fall guy for scheming politicians?

The mysterious death of Brittany Murphy. David Lynch and the real-life brutal murder that inspired Twin Peaks. Steve McQueen’s brush with Charles Manson. The three conspiracies surrounding Marilyn Monroe’s death. The indecent arrest of John Waters. Dennis Hopper’s easy riding and excessive 70s Hollywood. Woody Harrelson’s Dad’s connection to the JFK assassination. The obsessive murder of Dorothy Stratten. Bill Murray’s bust. Chris Farley burning out too soon. Al Pacino’s armed robbery. The serial killer and Gianni Versace. Heath Ledger’s overdose. If it’s a story that meets ...

When most people think of ancient civilisations, a familiar handful tends to dominate the conversation: the mighty Romans, with their vast empire and stone-built legacy; the brilliant Greeks, whose philosophies still shape our thinking today; and the majestic Egyptians, architects of timeless pyramids and enduring mysteries. These towering cultures have been etched into our collective memory—and rightly so. But history is far deeper and more intricate than its greatest hits.

On July 5 in pickleball history, one significant and fascinating aspect revolves not so much around a specific event on that exact date, but more about the origins and the early journey of the sport that eventually led to its massive popularity decades later. Pickleball was invented in the summer of 1965 on Bainbridge Island, Washington, by Joel Pritchard, Bill Bell, and Barney McCallum, who initially set out looking for a fun activity for their families. With limited badminton equipment on hand, they improvised by using ping-pong paddles and a perforated plastic ball played over a lowered net...

C’est dans la nuit du 15 au 16 juillet 1893 que meurt celui qui, inlassablement, des années durant, aura tenté de comprendre les troubles du comportement de certains de ses semblables : Jean-Martin Charcot. Grand médecin de l’hôpital de la Salpêtrière, à Paris, il occupera, en 1882, la première chaire de neurologie et explorera les continents, alors mal connus, de l’hystérie et de l’hypnose. Freud, qui fut son élève, ne cachera pas l’influence qu’eut le maître sur son travail. Charcot demeure également un lien entre la science et l’art. Ses dessins, d’une grande ...

"looking at a portrait transcends time"

On July 5th in music history, one significant event took place in 1954 when Elvis Presley recorded his first single, "That's All Right," at Sun Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. This moment marked the beginning of Elvis's incredible career and his rise to become the "King of Rock and Roll."The story behind the recording is quite fascinating. On that day, Elvis was in the studio with guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black. They were taking a break from a long and unproductive session when Elvis started fooling around with an uptempo version of Arthur Crudup's blues song, "That's All Right, ...
