A "marvelous history"* of medieval Europe, from the bubonic plague and the Papal Schism to the Hundred Years' War, by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Guns of August *Lawrence Wright, author of The End of October, in The Wall Street JournalThe fourteenth century reflects two contradictory images: on the one hand, a glittering age of crusades, cathedrals, and chivalry; on the other, a world plunged into chaos and spiritual agony. In this revelatory work, Barbara W. Tuchman examines not only the great rhythms of history but the grain and texture of domestic life: what childhood was like; what marriage meant; how money, taxes, and war dominated the lives of serf, noble, and clergy alike. Granting her subjects their loyalties, treacheries, and guilty passions, Tuchman re-creates the lives of proud cardinals, university scholars, grocers and clerks, saints and mystics, lawyers and mercenaries, and, dominating all, the knight--in all his valor and "furious follies," a "terrible worm in an iron cocoon." Praise for A Distant Mirror "Beautifully written, careful and thorough in its scholarship . . . What Ms. Tuchman does superbly is to tell how it was. . . . No one has ever done this better."--The New York Review of Books
"A beautiful, extraordinary book . . . Tuchman at the top of her powers . . . She has done nothing finer."--The Wall Street Journal
"Wise, witty, and wonderful . . . a great book, in a great historical tradition."--Commentary

Bosch spark plug are okay... for now.
I'm ususally a Denso Iridium Long-Life or NGK Laser Iridium kind of guy for my Acura or Honda spark plugs. I purchased these on short noticed when I got hit with CEL, grabbed my OBD2 scanner read misfire in all 6 cylinder in my J35a8 (Acura TL Type-S) when I arrived home late that night; I know right, of all places thank goodness. Anyways, I further started to diagnose the car from the least expense before assume the most expensive parts; the spark plugs upon inspection showed they reach it service life. Grabbed my phone in hopes for an overnight prime shipping and encounter these Bosch spark plugs. I installed them the next morning before going to work and all 6 cylinders misfire went away. Sidebar spark plug gap were within factory spec and are somewhat similar to OE. Its been a few week so far still good 👍. For the price it wasn't expensive but I had to order two 4 pack cause the individual spark plug took a few days extra to ship. Gas mileage slightly improve not by a lot, but I'll take it since gas price have gone up. Make sure to properly torque it with either 1/4 or 3/8 torque wrench when I last check they slightly backed out. Since I torque it down to factory recommendation it has stay put since. Will update again in the near future...

Reliable oil for BMW owners
I drive a BMW, and this is the oil I always keep with me in the car. I even have a special holder made for this exact bottle, because it fits perfectly and I trust it that much. The oil quality is excellent, and since it’s fully synthetic, it performs well even during long drives and temperature changes.
In terms of functionality, the engine runs smoothly and quietly after each change. Longevity is also great. I notice that the oil keeps its properties for the full interval, so I don’t have to top it up too often. There’s also no oil leakage from the bottle, which is important when you store it in the trunk.
For a branded BMW product, I think the value for money is good, especially if you service your car yourself or like to have backup oil on hand. Overall, a dependable synthetic oil for anyone who wants to use what the car was designed for.
