Regele Carol II a avut, aproape în egală măsură, mari calități și mari defecte. Motive pentru a fi admirat și hulit. Din păcate, domnia i s-a sfârșit prost, în condiții tragice pentru țară, așa că imaginea lui în posteritate a rămas mai curând defavorabilă. ↗

— Lucian Boia

My time as editor has been overlapped by a crisis - a prolonged, labyrinthine, tragic, seemingly non-ending crisis - that involves the prehistory of 9/11, 9/11, Iraq, Afghanistan, fraught histories between the United States and almost everyone. ↗

I don't plan to write another science book, but I don't plan not to. I do enjoy writing histories, and taking subjects that are generally dull and trying to make them interesting. ↗
