The paperback of HUMANS: A MONSTROUS HISTORY from @ucpress is now in my hands! There's new jacket copy! There are review quotations on the back: 💙📚 🧪🗃 #ancient #medieval #earlymodern #18thC #histsci #histmed #politics 1/
A flat brown cardboard package shaped like a ginormous raviolo on a pale wooden floor. A pair of legs in mid-blue jeans and thick, deep pink socks stand ready.
My right hand is holding up a paperback copy of HUMANS: A Monstrous History at an angle, in front of a bookcase brimming with brightly coloured books. The cover of HUMANS is mostly crimson, with bright yellow stylized lettering. A large, oval, whitish mirror with an elaborate black frame of SFF characters takes up the centre of the cover.
The back cover of HUMANS; my hand and the bookcase also in evidence.
A back cover detail showing the pull-quotes from published reviews.

Quite curious to know what 'a payre of venesyans of canvas cutt' are. I'm hoping some wonderfully flamboyant Venetian-style pantaloons, but perhaps a proper #EarlyModern clothing expert can enlighten me.

This "Trach. Draco." is clearly a handsome dragon, and according to the #earlymodern German book this entry was in, dragons are the biggest snakes available on earth, and may be found in India and "moren land" (likely the biblical Ethiopia).
A small dragon next to a text part. This is an entry in a sixteenth-century book, and you can find access to a digitized copy over here: https://www.digitale-sammlungen.de/de/details/bsb11069310

By chance does anyone have a pdf of chapter 5 (by Jim Tracy) of volume 3 of the Cambridge History of War, vol. 3 (ed. D. Parrott & G. Agoston)? My library's ILL Office has been unable to locate a copy of this volume (which just came out last year). #earlymodern

I am 72 and have had my fair share of academic ups (and quite a few downs eg redundancy) but missing out on both the fellowships I applied for this year does hurt I hope they went to ECRs especially the big one. #earlymodern
