History The Generals
Patton, MacArthur, Marshall, and the Winning of World War II Celebrated historian Winston Groom tells the story of three remarkable men-of-arms who rose from the gruesome hell of the First World War to become the finest generals of their generation during World War II. George Marshall, George Patton, and Douglas MacArthur redefined America’s ideas of military leadership and brought forth a new generation of American soldier. Their efforts revealed to the world the grit and determination that would become synonymous with America in the post-war years. Virginian George Marshall led his class at the Virginia Military Institute to become the principal planner of the Battle of the Meuse-Argonne, the greatest American operation, which ended the conflict. Afterward, he rose to become the Army’s Chief of Staff, where he juggled the volatility of generals such as Patton and MacArthur against the good of the country. Like Marshall, George Patton, who is remembered as one of the most heroic and controversial generals in American history, overcame early academic difficulties to graduate at the top of his class at West Point. He would build and command the Army’s burgeoning tank division, lead the successful invasion of North Africa during World War II, and die under mysterious circumstances in 1945. Douglas MacArthur also graduated at the top of his West Point class and became known as the “bravest man in the U.S. Army” during the First World War, where he was commissioned the youngest general in the armed forces. He commanded in the Pacific in World War II, where his strategy famously defeated the Empire of Japan. Filled with novel-worthy twists and turns, and set against the backdrop of the most dramatic moments of the twentieth century, The Generals is a powerful, action-packed book filled with marvelous surprises and insights into the lives of America’s most celebrated warriors. WINSTON GROOM is the beloved author of 14 previous books, including Forrest Gump; The Aviators; Conversations with the Enemy (nominated for a Pulitzer Prize); 1942: The Year That Tried Men’s Souls; Vicksburg, 1863; and Shiloh, 1862.

History After the Civil War
The Heroes, Villains, Soldiers, and Civilians Who Changed America In the chaotic days following Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, Washington and the world struggled to come to terms with the loss of the figure who symbolized America’s Union. Best-selling author James Robertson brings readers back to 1865, exploring the critical years following the Civil War and focusing on 75 key figures who would come to shape America during Reconstruction and beyond. Together their stories tell the complex and fast-paced story of America as the country struggled to reunite and adapt to the inevitable changes wrought by war. The Greatest Generation of their day, the 75 figures in this book would forever change—and be changed by—the Civil War. JAMES ROBERTSON, one of the most distinguished names in Civil War history, was executive director of the U.S. Civil War Centennial Commission and worked with Presidents Truman, Kennedy, and Johnson in marking the war’s 100th anniversary. His Civil War Era course at Virginia Tech was the largest of its kind in the nation.

Revised and Updated Mountain Without Mercy Timed to coincide with the release of the highly anticipated Universal film Everest starring Jake Gylenhaall and Keira Knightley, this updated edition of National Geographic’s best-selling book recounts the terror and triumph of the 1996 season on Everest. Written in suspenseful detail, the book documents how a courageous photographic team, facing hazards of their own, became an essential part of a rescue effort that brought some—but not all—of their companions down from the mountain alive.

L
egend has it that Aztec leader Moctezuma II drank fifty pitchers every day of a hot, frothy drink made from cacao beans. The Aztecs used the beans as currency, so downing goblets of the mixture was almost like drinking liquid gold. Moctezuma’s hot cacao drink bore little resemblance to the sweet and creamy hot chocolate that we enjoy today. It was a bitter blend, made from ground cacao beans, water, spices such as chili peppers, cinnamon, special flowers, and other ingredients. To prepare the drink, servants poured it at great heights from one pitcher to another, creating a thick layer of foam that they would layer on top of the drink. The Aztecs believed that drinking cacao created strength, courage, and wisdom. Some believed that it had medicinal, or even aphrodisiacal powers. For Moctezuma, it was a personal passion and a symbol of power and opulence.

In this book of visual wonders, National Geographic reveals a world very few will have the chance to see for themselves. Shot by some of the world’s finest photographers, Rarely Seen features striking images of places, events, natural phenomena, and manmade heirlooms seldom seen by human eyes.

With an introduction by National Geographic photographer Stephen Alvarez, whose work has taken him from the Peruvian Andes to the deepest caves of Papua New Guinea, Rarely Seen captures once-in-a-lifetime moments, natural wonders, and little-seen objects from the far reaches of the globe. STEPHEN ALVAREZ, who has captured some of the most rarely seen objects on earth, is a photojournalist who produces global stories about exploration, culture, religion, and the aftermath of conflict.

Photography Pristine Seas
Journeys to the Ocean’s Last Wild Places From the shark-rich waters surrounding Coco Island, Costa Rica, to the iceberg-studded sea off Franz Josef Land, Russia, this incredible photographic collection showcases the thriving marine ecosystems that Enric Sala is working to protect. Offering a rare glimpse into the world’s underwater Edens, more than 200 images take you to the frontier of the Pristine Seas expeditions, where Sala’s teams explore the breathtaking wildlife and habitats from the depths to the surface—thriving ecosystems with healthy corals and a kaleidoscopic variety of colorful fish and stunning creatures that have been protected from human interference. With this dazzling array of photographs that capture the beauty of the water and the incredible wildlife within it, this book shows us the brilliance of the sea in its natural state. Since 2005, Sala has been working to find, survey, and protect the last healthy, undisturbed places in the ocean from the Arctic to the South Pacific. Showcasing 10 of his designated pristine locations, this book will unveil the greatest discoveries from Sala and his team’s expeditions and research. It is a beautiful reminder of what we have to gain by protecting our seas. National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence DR. ENRIC SALA combines science, exploration, and media to advocate the restoration of marine life. Witnessing the adverse impacts that pollution, overfishing, climate change, and industrialization were having on marine ecosystems, he dedicated his career to finding ways to restore health and productivity to the ocean.

Science The Hubble Cosmos
25 Years of New Vistas in Space The Hubble Telescope has now gazed into deep space for 25 years, imaging galaxies, nebulas, and supernovas for a new picture of the universe and our place in it. Space historians David DeVorkin and Robert Smith team up to tell the stories of 25 iconic moments in the illustrious telescope’s career, illustrated with breathtaking, never-before-seen images. Here are the major challenges and triumphs, the key scientific findings, the brilliant scientists behind the scenes, and the public’s love affair with a space telescope. Here too, selected by top science and photo editors at National Geographic, are the 25 “Hubble All-Stars”: awe-inspiring images of beauty and wonder—the best pictures yet—achieved thanks to this amazing space-based telescope. And, more than anything, here is the story of how the Hubble space telescope expanded and enriched our concept of the universe we live in, to wondrous visions never before seen. DAVID DEVORKIN is senior curator of history of astronomy and the space sciences. DeVorkin’s
major research interests are in the origins and development of modern astrophysics during the 20th century and the origins and development of the space sciences from the V-2 rocket to the present. ROBERT W. SMITH is professor of history and director of the science, technology, and society
program at the University of Alberta, Canada. His research interests are in the history of the physical sciences, astronomy, cosmology, and spaceflight in the United States. ROBERT P. KIRSHNER, Clowes Professor of Science in the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for

a new camera in one of the telescope’s axial instrument bay called NICMOS
(Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer). NICMOS extended Hubble’s eyes deeper into the infrared, that part of the spectrum of light energy we can’t see with our eyes but can feel with our skin as heat. NICMOS has three cameras and all sorts of attachments to sense either narrow or broad bands of the spectrum. It can also sift the light bands themselves into a spectrum, block central portions to reveal faint outer details in objects, and even sense if the light is polarized or aligned in ways that reveal the presence of magnetic fields. It is an army unto itself, or at the least a brigade. And it does all this with the ultrahigh spatial resolution of the corrected Hubble optical system.
NICMOS NICMOS was optimized to see cool objects, not only in temperature but also on the light spectrum: objects that are extremely interesting to astronomers who want to understand how galaxies formed in the early universe, or how stars and planetary systems form out of the cool, vast clouds of gas and dust in space that shroud and nourish them. To sense cool objects, however, Hubble’s eyes themselves have to be cooled to temperatures well below that of the objects they want to Preceding pages: The Carina Nebula complex, a vast star-forming region in the core of our Milky Way spiral arm.

study. So NICMOS sits in a refrigerator called a “dewar” that uses solid nitrogen as a deep coolant, or “cryogen.” The detectors sit in a series of three nested cylindrical capsules that look like a set of progressively larger propane tanks. At launch, the middle tank carried 240 pounds of solid nitrogen coolant in a matrix of aluminum foam. The coolant was pumped in as a liquid, and then cold helium gas was circulated through pipes in the chamber to freeze the nitrogen completely to about 40 kelvins (40 degrees above absolute zero). Under operating conditions, the coolant was expected to last about four years. In actual fact, various problems reduced it to only two years, after which NICMOS was taken offline pending the next servicing mission, when it would be reinvigorated by an active closed-circuit cooling system. Within its first year, NICMOS observed faint galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field (see Moment 08, page xxx). It also peered into the dense center of our Milky Way galaxy, and searched for and studied detailed structures of the disks of gas and dust that surround many nearby stars. Among the first users, a team of UCLA and Caltech astronomers proposed to look at a rather puzzling object in the direction of the

Health The Blue Zones Solution
Eating and Living Like the World’s Healthiest People In this groundbreaking book, New York Times best-selling author of The Blue Zones Dan Buettner reveals how to transform your health using smart eating and lifestyle habits gleaned from new research on the diets, eating habits, and lifestyle practices of the communities he’s identified as “Blue Zones”—those places with the world’s longest-lived, and thus healthiest, people. With the bold belief that the lifestyles of the world’s Blue Zones could be adapted and replicated in towns across North America, Buettner launched the largest preventive health care project in the United States, The Blue Zones City Makeovers, which has impacted the health of millions of Americans since 2009. Now, in The Blue Zones Solution, readers can be inspired by the specific stories of the people, foods, and routines of our healthy elders; understand the roles community, family, and naturally healthy habits can play to improve our diet and health; and learn the exact foods—including the 50 superfoods of longevity and dozens of recipes adapted for Western tastes and markets—that offer delicious ways to eat your way to optimum health. Throughout the book are lifestyle recommendations, checklists, and stories to help you create your own personal Blue Zones solution. Readers will learn and apply the 80/20 rule; the plant slant diet; social aspects of eating that lead to weight loss and great health naturally; and cultivating your “tribe” of friends and family and your greater purpose as part of your daily routine. Filled with moving personal stories, delicious recipes, checklists, and useful tips that will transform any home into a miniature Blue Zone, The Blue Zones Solution is the ultimate blueprint for a healthy, happy life. DAN BUETTNER is the founder of Blue Zones, an organization that helps Americans live longer,
healthier lives. His groundbreaking work on longevity led to his 2005 National Geographic cover story “Secrets of Living Longer” and two national bestsellers, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who’ve Lived the Longest and Thrive. He lives in Minneapolis, MN. He can be found on Facebook and Twitter, and through his website bluezones.com. US on Sale: April 7, 2015 6 x 9 Inches 15.25 x 22.86 mm

History Bad Days in History
A Gleefully Grim Chronicle of Misfortune, Mayhem, and Misery for Every Day of the Year Best-selling author of A Treasury of Royal Scandals Michael Farquhar uncovers an instance of bad luck, epic misfortune, and unadulterated mayhem tied to every day of the year in this engrossing compendium of history’s worst moments. From Caligula’s blood-soaked end to hotelier Steve Wynn’s unfortunate run-in with a priceless Picasso, Bad Days in History delves into the past to present 365 delightfully told tales of historically bad days. Farquhar’s cleverly written entries draw from the full sweep of history to take readers through a complete year of misery, including tales of lost fortunes (like the would-be Apple investor who pulled out in 1977 and missed out on a $30-billion-dollar windfall), romance gone wrong (like the 16th-century Shah who experimented with an early form of Viagra with empire-changing results), and truly bizarre moments (like the Great Molasses Flood of 1919). Catchy headlines draw readers into each entry while photographs and illustrations illuminate particularly memorable bad days, including the hopeful debut ads for the Ford Edsel, the special one-finger salute Korean POW’s designated for their unwitting captors, and the campaign photo that literally tanked Michael Dukakis’s presidential campaign. MICHAEL FARQUHAR is a former writer and editor for the Washington Post. He is the author
of numerous books including the bestsellers A Treasury of Great American Scandals, Behind the Palace Doors, A Treasury of Royal Scandals, and A Treasury of Russian Scandals. He lives in Washington, D.C. US on Sale: April 21, 2015 5-3/8 x 8-3/16 Inches 135.5 x 208 mm

Sergeant Stubby
How a Stray Dog and His Best Friend Helped Win World War I and Stole the Heart of a Nation National Geographic brings you the story of a stray dog who eventually became affectionately known as Sergeant Stubby, the most famous war dog of World War I. Beloved award-winning author and library darling Ann Bausum brings her friendly writing style and in-depth research to her first-ever book for adults.

Robert “Bob” Conroy at the Connecticut National Guard camp at Yale University and the two become inseparable, eventually crossing an ocean and going to war together. What follows is an epic tale of how man’s best friend becomes an invaluable soldier on the front lines and in the trenches, a decorated war hero, and an inspiration to a country long after the troops returned home. ANN BAUSUM has written nine National Geographic books for young readers during
the past 12 years. Her publication list features six works of social justice history, two presidential history reference books, and a photobiography. She has won numerous awards, including a Sibert Honor Award from the American Library Association and three other national awards for literature. US on Sale: May 5, 2015 6 x 9 Inches 152.4 x 228.6 mm

A Place of Remembrance tells the emotional story behind the creation of the National September 11 Memorial, from the symbolism of the twin towers to the chaos of 9/11 to the long, complex, and sometimes contentious efforts to turn eight acres of downtown Manhattan into a lasting memorial to those lost in New York, Pennsylvania, and near Washington, D.C. The memorial—and this book about it—are not only tributes to the fallen but also reminders of a powerful connection we all share through the triumph of the human spirit. A Place of Remembrance, the official book of the National September 11 Memorial, lists the names of every victim and the location of each name on the memorial.

Memoir Life From Scratch
A Memoir of Food, Family, and Forgiveness Witty, warm, and poignant, food blogger Sasha Martin’s memoir about cooking her way to happiness and self-acceptance will resonate with fans of Julie and Julia and Tender at the Bone, the best-selling food memoir by Ruth Reichl. Over the course of 195 weeks, Martin set out to cook—and eat—a meal from every country in the world. As cooking unlocked the memories of her rough-and-tumble childhood and the loss and heartbreak that came with it, Martin became more determined than ever to find peace and elevate her life through the prism of food and world cultures. From the tiny, makeshift kitchen of her eccentric, creative mother, to a string of foster homes, to the house from which she launches her own cooking adventure, Martin’s heartfelt, brutally honest memoir reveals the power of cooking to bond, to empower, and to heal—and celebrates the simple truth that happiness is created from within. SASHA MARTIN is an MFK Fisher Award-winning writer, blogger, wife and mother who spent almost four years cooking her way around the world. Her work has been featured on NPR (Travel with Rick Steves), Whole Living, Bon Appétit, Smithsonian, The Huffington Post, and CNNgo. Her recipes have won awards from Amanda Hesser, former editor of the New York Times food section, and her website, Global Table Adventure, is a go-to hub for foodies around the world. Martin is a sought-after presenter, having spoken at many schools, seminars, and dinners including as a keynote presenter at the internationally attended Global Education conference.

The Rose Hotel
A Memoir of Secrets, Loss, and Love From Iran to America
In this powerful memoir, Iran-born author Rahimeh Andalibian tells the story of her family: their struggle to survive the 1979 revolution, their move to California, and their attempts to assimilate in the face of teenage rebellion, murder, addiction, and new traditions. A poignant but uplifting tale of family secrets, trauma, and renewal, this runaway self-published success will capture the hearts of those who love Reading Lolita in Tehran and House of Sand and Fog. In The Rose Hotel, Andalibian struggles to make sense of two brutal crimes: a rape, solved by her father, and a murder, of which her beloved oldest brother stands accused. She takes us first into her family’s tranquil, jasmine-scented days of prosperity in their luxury hotel in Mashhad, Iran. Their life is ruptured by the 1979 revolution as they flee: first to the safety of a mansion in Tehran, next to a one-room flat in London, and finally to California, where they suffer a different kind of revolution. Struggling to adjust to a new host culture, they soon discover that although they escaped Iran, they are not free from their own lies and hidden truths. As the family comes to grips with their new home, the strength of their bonds are tested by love, loyalty, compassion, hate, pain, loss—and the will to survive. Heartbreaking and intimately told, this is a universal story of healing, rebirth after tragedy, and hard-won redemption. RAHIMEH ANDALIBIAN was born in Tehran and moved with her family to California in 1979, at
the onset of the Iranian revolution. Raised and schooled in L.A., she is a clinical psychologist specializing in intergenerational family therapy. A dynamic speaker and a savvy, promotion-driven author, she speaks frequently at conferences and has promoted the book on Martha Stewart Radio and BlogHer.

The Best International Travel in North America
In the tradition of Where the Locals Go, this beautifully illustrated, fact-filled book takes you on a trip around the globe—without ever leaving North America. Ideal for those who don’t want to spend the time or money to travel the world, this book presents a potpourri of international experiences in the United States and Canada. Discover experiences in villages, neighborhoods, and regions that cover the breadth of North America’s great global diversity—Chinatowns and Little Italys, of course, but also Polish, German, French, Russian, and Japanese enclaves—as well as landscapes that make you think you could very well be in New Zealand or Provence or Tuscany. Chapters are organized geographically, with entries providing guidance on how best to experience a locations international flavor, including deep-diving into the best archetypal food, art, music, architecture, history, festivals, and more. You’ll learn the inside scoop on where to find the best Chinese pot stickers or Peruvian causas; where to kick up your heels to polka; and how to celebrate Japanese new year or Mexican flag day. Abroad at Home helps you discover the exotic in your own backyard. ROBERT REID covers alternative ways of approaching travel as National Geographic Traveler’s Offbeat Observer. Reid has also written for the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Lonely Planet. He tries to keep up his blog (www.reidontravel.com) from his home in Portland, Oregon.

In other cities, they pave paradise to put up a parking lot; in Portland, Joni Mitchell would be tickled to see that a parking lot has become, in 2000, Lan Su Chinese Garden, a classical Chinese garden that takes up a whole city block.

Portland may lack a traditional Asian enclave, but locals in the know head to 82nd Avenue for authentic Asian food. The rough-aroundthe-edges corridor is a delicious destination, especially with a number of notable Vietnamese eateries like Lanvin (8211 N.E. Brazee St.), which elevates Vietnam’s Francophone baking tradition with its crispy banh mi, flaky croissants, and sweet pains au noix. Pho Van (1919 S.E. 82nd Ave.), as the name suggests, excels in the art of Vietnamese noodle soup—as well as the vermicelli and grilled staples of the

ccording to L.A. stylist Bridgette Bugay, there is a relaxed playfulness to Angelenos’ style. “It ranges from simple elegance in a linen shift on the beaches of Santa Monica to full-blown glamour in a gorgeous gown on Hollywood’s red carpets.” Whether for hipster style or megawatt movie-star glamour, some of the most exclusive stores representing the L.A.-look exist on one little stretch of road—the section of Third Street between South Edinburgh Avenue and La Cienega Boulevard. WhErE to shop: Moving east from Edinburgh to La Cienega, the first store of note is Trina Turk. A longtime resident of Silver Lake in Los Angeles, Trina’s California surfer and sun-inspired bright patterns are now world famous. A few blocks down on your left, enter Satine. Elegant but edgy, this store prides itself on carrying hard-to-find items—Isabel Marant Runway, exclusive Vanessa Bruno dresses, celeb-favored A.L.C., vintage Chanel bags, and Dior jewelry. For men, a similar fashion-haven exists a few blocks farther east, on the left side of the street: Douglas Fir. And don’t miss their affiliated shoe store located directly opposite, where you can find L.A.-only designers and some of the most

To settle the dispute, they picked two churches as landmarks and raced from steeple to steeple, from “point-to-point.” Over the ensuing decades the sport gained traction in Britain and eventually made its way to America. According to some accounts, the earliest recorded point-to-point in the New World was held in 1834 in Washington D.C. 75

Safety First The Dutch make cycling look easy: A tall, blond, man wearing a suit weaves in and out of traffic, one hand holding up an umbrella against the rain; a student sits nonchalantly on a bike, legs dangling, while her friend peddles; a mother rushes past with a baby and toddler stuffed into seats at either end of her indispensable mode of transportation. Some wear helmets—most do not, because it isn’t required by law. Slowly, it will become apparent that common sense and cycling don’t always go hand in hand here. Only thanks to an extensive safety campaign (and the threat of being fined) do most of Amsterdam’s cyclists now use bike lights at night. And many ignore red traffic lights and cross roads at their peril. You will soon learn that cyclists rule in town, and tourists are considered fair game—wander accidentally into a bike lane and you will be publicly shamed with repeated bellringing and probably the odd Dutch expletive . . . or two. Sometimes it’s best to give into that old adage: If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em.

Reptiles & Amphibians The Water–Land Connection
Reptiles and amphibians represent widely distributed groups of vertebrates that show many vestiges of their ancient lineages. From crocodilians that seem to lumber straight from the Triassic period some 200 million years ago, to snakes and lizards that slither and scurry, to salamanders and frogs that play out their double lives in water and on land, reptiles and amphibians offer an understanding of the past and present.

Reptiles & Amphibians
Reptiles and amphibians are traditionally grouped together for their biological and ecological similarities rather than close relationships based on evolution. Amphibians are the older of the two. They evolved from lobe-finned fishes about 360 million years ago and have retained a connection to watery or moist habitats, at least for the purposes of reproduction. The ancestors of reptiles appeared about 40 million years later and evolved into the creatures we know today. They have impermeable skin that minimizes water loss and other adaptations for life out of water. Despite this evolutionary sequence, reptiles often get first billing in field guides. The study of reptiles and amphibians is the subject of the field of herpetology. The species represented in these two groups often are called herpetofauna, or merely “herps.” These terms ultimately derive from the ancient Greek for “to creep.” From a North American perspective, reptiles include crocodilians, turtles (and tortoises), lizards, snakes, and an amphisbaenian (worm lizard). Amphibians include salamanders, frogs, and toads.
n
What Is a Reptile?
Reptiles are ectothermic, which means that they cannot control body temperature by internal physiological processes. They rely on strategies such as basking in the sun to raise temperature and “rev up” metabolic systems, shuttling between sun and shade, and resting underground to avoid conditions that could fry or freeze them. Reptilian bodies are covered with scales, shields, or plates, and most reptiles that have toes have claws on them. Most species lay shelled eggs (all crocodilians and turtles do), but a few lizards and a fair number of snakes give live birth. Young reptiles are usually miniature versions of their parents at hatching or birth. Reptiles occupy a wide variety of habitats in the United States and Canada, just about every type except alpine tundra. Many are secretive and elusive, even those that live in close proximity to humans. Many are fossorial (burrowing) and nocturnal, adding to their mystique.

This effectively gave him control of the sultanate. Then, after defeating the Rajput Confederacy at the Battle of Khanwa (1527), he became master of the whole Indus valley, the most prosperous region of India.
akbar “the great” When Babur died in 1530, he was succeeded by his son Humayun, who could not retain control over his father’s dominions. He fled to Persia in 1540, but returned in 1555 and recaptured his father’s capital of Delhi. His exile in Persia gave Humayun a taste for Persian learning and culture, but he died within a year of regaining his throne, before he could fulfil his dream of transforming Delhi into a great center of scholarship and the arts. Humayun was succeeded by his teenage

ne of the great achievements of the Mughal dynasty was the marriage of Islamic scientific research with Indian scholarship. Many improvements in metallurgy came about through the development of Mughal military technology, and 17th-century India became one of the most advanced metallurgical centers in the world. Science, medicine, and astronomy benefitted from the patronage of the Mughal emperors. The observatory built by Humayun outside Delhi was one of the first facilities of its kind, and Indian astronomy was considered highly advanced during the Mughal Empire’s heyday.
son Akbar “the Great” (1556–1605), who was widely regarded as the greatest of the Mughal emperors. He was a wise ruler and a mighty warrior. During his long reign the empire’s borders stretched from Persia in the west to Bengal and the mouth of the Indus in the east. He pushed southwards, too, capturing Gujarat and reaching Bombay. He was also known for his religious tolerance towards Hindus, which did much to remove a source of dissent within the empire.

Science and Technology
he Mughal Empire was an Islamic power that ruled much of the Indian subcontinent for more than three centuries. It was founded by the Timurid prince Babur, a Muslim ruler from Central Asia who invaded the sub-continent in the mid-1520s. The term Mughal (or Mogul) itself has been linked to “Mongol,” underlining the Asiatic roots of the dynasty. Babur seized control of the lower valley of the River Indus, and in 1526 he defeated the Sultan of Delhi at the Battle of Panipat.
The Mughal golden age
T
he reign of Shah Jahan (1628–58) was seen as the golden age of the Mughal empire. While he was a reasonably successful military commander, Shah Jahan’s most lasting legacy was architectural. He ordered the building of the Taj Mahal outside Agra between 1632 and 1652 as a memorial to his favorite wife Mumtaz Mahal. He was also responsible for the construction of the magnificent pearl mosques in Agra, Delhi, and Lahore, and the complex of palaces and mosques of Shahjahanabad in Delhi with the Red Fort at its heart. Roads and waterways linked the empire’s towns and cities, and artistry flourished under imperial patronage. However, his military campaigns also drained the vast Mughal treasury, and when he fell ill in 1658, his son Aurangzeb seized power, and kept Shah Jahan prisoner in Agra until his father’s death in 1666.
an expanding empire For a century after the death of Akbar “the Great” in 1605, the borders of the empire continued to expand, as successive Mughal emperors—Jahangir (1605–27), Shah Jahan (1628–58), and Aurangzeb (1658–1707)—sought to conquer the Deccan plateau and southern India. Internal opposition from the Marathas, the Sikhs, and the Rajputs did little to weaken the empire until the death of Aurangzeb, when the Mughal dominions began to fall into decline through a combination of weak leadership and foreign invasions. At its height in 1707, the Mughal Empire had extended almost to the southern tip of India. Three decades later it was unable to defend its own capital. In 1739 the Persian emperor Nadir Shah sacked Delhi in 1739, and looted the Mughal “peacock throne,” taking it back to Persia with him. The growing power of the Hindu Maratha dynasty, its neighbor to the west, further weakened

the Mughal Empire, as did dynastic strife, and in 1752 the Mughal emperor sought the protection of the Marathas. From that point onward, the Mughal emperor in Delhi became little more than a puppet ruler. In 1804, the ageing Emperor Shah Alam II accepted the protection of the British East India Company, which referred to him and his successors as kings rather than emperors. The last Mughal ruler was Bahadur Shah II (1837–57), who was exiled by the British in the wake of the Indian Mutiny of 1857, thereby bringing to an end three centuries of Muslim rule in the Indian subcontinent.

ritons don’t eat as many portions of fish and chips as they did, but the quantities consumed are still big enough to generate some pretty impressive statistics. Fish and chip shops in the u.k. 10,500 mcdonald’s in the u.k. 1,200 kentucky Fried chicken outlets in the u.k. 850

ish and chip shops, or “chippies,” first sprang up because they offered cheap and relatively nutritious food for the masses. Refrigeration and the railways—which brought fresh North Sea fish to the capital— led to their proliferation in the late 19th century. • Golden Hind (73 Marylebone Lane, W1U, tel 020 7486 3644) has been serving fish and chips to Marylebone locals since 1914. The lines and the extension of their premises merely underline the fact that they know what they’re doing. • Kerbisher & Malt (164 Shepherd’s Bush Road, W6, tel 020 3556 0228, kerbisher.co.uk). Oldtime fryers might turn over in their graves, but
Fish, chips, and a pub—almost heaven
attention to detail such as double-frying the chips makes this new madeto-look-old place (white tiles, long shared wooden tables) in Hammersmith one of the best in town. • If you’re in Westminster and fish and chips is what you need, head for The Laughing Halibut (38 Strutton Ground, SW1, tel 020 7799 2844). Don’t expect frills: Most
chippies are known as fish and chip shops, not restaurants, for a reason. • Poppies (6-8 Hanbury St., E1, tel 020 7247 0892, poppiesfishandchips .co.uk). Poppies dates from 1945 and overdoes the British kitsch—jukebox, mini red phone box, pictures of Cliff Richard—but stick to fish (fried or grilled),
