Johannes Vermeer was one of the greatest painters of the Dutch Golden Age. Unlike many of his contemporary painters, however, he didn’t leave a large body of work behind. 

The painting he did create has left experts in both art and technology wondering if he didn’t have a secret that helped him with his craft. A technical secret, not an artistic one.

Learn more about Vermeer and the question as to if he and other Renaissance painters used optical devices to help themselves paint, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

ABC White House correspondent Jonathan Karl has chronicled the final days of the Trump administration and the events leading up to the January 6th insurrection in his new book, Betrayal. Karl told NPR's Steve Inskeep that he believed in the end Trump was laying the groundwork to be un-checkable.

It is one of the longest and largest structures ever built. It was designed to defend one of the oldest and greatest civilizations on the planet. 

For centuries it did just that…..and for some centuries it didn’t do that at all.  

Some people have claimed that you could see it from space, and it is one of the most visited tourist attractions on Earth.

Author and social activist bell hooks died a couple of weeks ago, so we at Book Of The Day thought it would be nice to revisit one of our favorite interviews of hers. In 2000, she discussed her book All About Love: New Visions with NPR's Cheryl Corely. They talked about how most people misunderstand love and the many forms it can take and how transformative and powerful real love can be in all spheres of life.

I’ve done many episodes talking about the first world war and I’ve done many episodes talking about the second world war. 

However, despite the names we’ve given them, they weren’t the only world wars. There was another global war that occurred well before the 20th-century wars. This war actually saw conflicts on five different continents. 

Learn more about world war zero, the world war before the world wars, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Every time the new year rolls around, many of us start trying to "better ourselves." Maybe you decide to read more or clean out your entire house only to find yourself falling short. Author BJ Fogg wrote a book about how not to do that called Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything. Fogg told Life Kit's Maria Godoy that everyone should try and lower their expectations. It's actually much easier to accomplish goals you set for yourself if they are much, much smaller. Say, instead of cleaning out your whole house, start with one room.

In 1889, a new exhibit was constructed for the Paris World’s Fair. It completely dominated the Paris skyline. 

Most people considered it an eyesore and an architectural abomination. The only redeeming thing about it in their mind was the fact that it was only temporary and was going to be torn down after the fair was over. 

But it never was, and today it has become the iconic symbol for the city.

Planet Money's Stacey Vanek Smith has reported on business and the economy for over 15 years now. She told NPR's Guy Raz that over that time, she's seen the same barriers blocking advancement for women in the workplace again and again. Recently, she's started to recognize that a lot of tools to move past those barriers can be found in the work of Italian philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli. Vanek Smith lays out these solutions in her new book, Machiavelli for Women: Defend Your Worth, Grow Your Ambition, and Win the Workplace.

New Year’s Day is not only the day we turn over a new year on the calendar, but also a day where people start resolutions, companies begin new budgets, and everyone screws up writing checks. 

While documenting our trips around the sun makes perfect sense, why do we use this day, January 1, as the starting point for our calendar years? Why not some other date?

Learn more about how January 1st became the start of the new year on this Episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The printing press is considered to be one of, if not the greatest invention in history. The printing press allowed for an explosion in information and it ushered in the renaissance, the enlightenment, and the scientific and industrial revolutions. 

As such, Johannes Gutenberg is often considered one of the most important people in history.

But did Gutenberg actually invent the printing press? Should he be given credit for this important invention?

Learn more about Gutenberg and the invention of the printing press on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
