Some More Noted

History Carnival #36 will be hosted by Laura James at CLEWS: The True Crime Blog on Tuesday 1 August. You can send your nominations of exemplary history posts since 15 July to her at Laura4991*at*prodigy*dot*net or use the form. Though he gets only a B for the originality of his title, I'd lay odds that Rob MacDougall's"Things Illustrated Here and There" is a sure bet for the Carnival.

With colleagues as talented as mine, it was bound to happen at some point. But, serendipitously, both Miriam Burstein and Hugo Schwyzer have just been offered republication of two of their blog posts in print for pay!

Hugo's"A Long Reflection on the ‘Good Divorce'," Hugo Schwyzer, 11 August 2005, will appear in an up-coming volume of Gale/Greenhaven Press's Contemporary Issues Companion Series on Divorce and the Marriage Contract. After his first article on"Northern Bishops and the Anglo-Scottish War in the Reign of Edward II," Hugo decided that heavily annotated academic history was not his interest, but blogging has been Hugo's means of finding other outlets for his professional interests and it's working.

The other exciting news is that Miriam Burstein's"How to Write a CoHE ‘First Person' Essay: A Handy Multiple Choice Guide," Little Professor, 22 July, has been picked up by a major venue. I can't tell you which one it is, but there are clues in her title and in her last multiple-choice option.

Finally, much more seriously, James Bamford,"Iran: The Next War," Rolling Stone, 24 July, is a blockbuster of an article. Thanks to Manan Ahmed for the tip.
