In the big time now

Hey reader, check it out--I got my picture taken in front of something that there's a picture of in Making of the West.

The MOW is the textbook that taught me everything I know about European history.

MOW is the one constant and reliable support in grad student life and is therefore beloved. When asked in job interviews how I would teach a survey class: "Well, I would assign MOW..." Some grad-student-taught summer courses are actually (semi) dramatic readings of the MOW.

It's the Dancing Building in Prague. Weirdly the NYT just did a 48 hours in Prague and they have a photo of the Dancing Building.
