The book edited by @heiditworek.bsky.social and me with @routledgehistory.bsky.social is two years old, and to celebrate its attainment of toddler status, is now available in paperback! Great for classes in HIST/IR with 50+ contributors in 40 globally-framed, thematic chapters!

The book now has a cover! (And some very kind blurbs by @ayates.bsky.social & @andydenninghist.bsky.social) Check it out if you want to learn about how the French made the balloon into one of the quintessential artifacts of fin-de-siècle modernity. More info at mitpress.mit.edu/978026254980...
