POPSCrosstime Traffic: Alternate history series by Harry Turtledove Pt. 2 of 2 As I said in the notes to Part 1 of this clip, Harry Turtledove is the Master of alternate history science fiction. Some of his other series such as: World War, The Great War, and Day of Infamy should be checked out as well as his anthologies and his first novel, Agent of Byzantium. I first read that is my Senior Year of High School and though I had a love for literature already, I knew my path was set in front of me... But I write horror right? Technically, yes and no... I write alternate history with a horror theme and trappings.. Maybe not a big distinction but it is one on my part. If you want your teenagers to do better in History pick up a few alternate history novels. A writer has to develop the divergence point from "actual" history and the ramifications and butterfly effect of those. In other words, he gives you real history and then takes it and warps it and gives you a new look at it..

POPSAlternate History: What Ifs Best site for a thorough definition of what is and what is not "alternate history," and a nice bibliography of key stories and novels that fit the criteria. Most interesting is the fact the author separates Alternate History from Secret and Hidden History which explore more conspiratorial theories and ramifications of History by design instead of a divergent history. Not just for fans of the genre but serious Historians have written essays on "What If' as key events in history may have gone askew,,,

POPSThe Alternate Secret History Of The World It first appeared as an illustration to this story we wrote for Pajamas Media, and then a shorter version of it on the Cube a few days later: The Alternative Secret History of the World. At first the image had no attribution because we never expected it to be anything more than an illustration. In that form it wound up in Rush Limbaugh's inbox, emailed to him without crediting the source. Rush liked it so much that he described it on his show. Here's a transcript from his site:

POPSInternet Acronym Server The search engine didn't carry across in the clip, but at the site the search engine has acronyms collected over two decades. There is also a field for submitting new ones. So many times I've seen acronyms without trying to find out what they mean. Most of the time when they are explained it is well worth the trouble, By the way <NO>OOXML refers to the plan to use Microsofts open office format OOXML as an ISO standard. i.e. Vote no. I didn't find the answer on the acronym server <*> might have been a problem , but google, which is offered as an alternate search did.

POPSBattle Royale This actually reminds me of Fahrenheit 451, and its dystopian world, and how everything is characterized by an 'oppressive control' within the context of society. How such premise could actually be a part of our not-so-distant future, or maybe, say, an 'alternate history'? (I borrowed words from Wikipedia, many thanks.)

POPSHistory of the Topsy-Turvey Doll Kimberly Wallace-Sanders, a professor with Emory University, points out that the apartheid ban on black dolls signaled the political and moral potency of the doll in its time. She asks, “Why would you ban a doll if it wasn’t so powerful?”, Indeed. I had no idea this doll was so politcally charged.
