Let’s join our good friend Derek Anderson to hear about his new book Forgotten Capitals and the Historical Lessons They Teach.

Derek is a history teacher and librarian and always has a unique and fascinating perspective on historical people, places and events.



Forgotten Capitals and the Historical Lessons They Teach with Derek Anderson

Buenos Aires and Cairo, London and Tokyo are known for being the epicenters of their nations, but what about Enugu, Jolo, Quetzaltenango, or Xinjing? Why did these once vibrant cultural, economic, and political centers fade from prominence? What does their experience tell us about ourselves and our world today?


From our speaker Derek …

A presentation about how I came to become a historian, and how I came to understand the complexities of the Bosnian Civil War while working on Forgotten Capitals. The presentation itself should be about 30-40 minutes and then we talk about the rest of the book, all things history, and anything else you'd like.

Improbable Voices: A History of the World Since 1450 Seen From Twenty-Six Unusual Perspectives

A NEW APPROACH TO WORLD HISTORY This uniquely-told world history interweaves the lives of twenty-six women and men who are not well known with the major political, economic, social, and cultural developments that have shaped the human experience through the course of the last 570 years. Meticulously researched and hailed by scholars, yet purposefully written for a broad audience, this book details the lives of doctors and musicians, aristocrats and artists, businessmen and suffragettes, scientists and generals who made essential, but now-largely forgotten, contributions to places and eras as diverse as Reformation Europe, Mughal India, Tokugawa Japan, colonial Australia, and post-colonial Kenya. Improbable Voices possesses both the vivid depth and the expansive breadth a satisfying history of the world warrants. The book is handsomely illustrated and includes over forty original maps.
