The BC/AD date convention for history was his idea; he wrote about the English as one people, despite the island being a fractured mess of tribes and kings who frequently went to war with each other.\n  * A social history of rhubarb - Did you know that rhubarb originates in China? Or that it grows wild in the South Gobi desert? The author traces a history of the plant, interweaving it with her own family history.\n\n\n\n_This work is licensed under_ CC BY-SA 4.0",
