Notes
- The most comprehensive book about Rose has to be Ann Blackman's Wild Rose: The True Story of a Confederate Spy.
- I also found an old book, Rebel Rose: Life of Rose O'Neale Greenhow, Confederate Spy, by Ishbel Ross particularly useful (if pretty rah-rah Confederacy, which gets kind of intense).
- Rose's memoir is very readable, too.
Music
- Marnie, from Bernard Hermann's score
- Don't Worry, by Zoe Keating
- Debut, by Christopher Ferreira
- El cascabel de plata, by Federico Durand
- Technology, by Gareth Dickson
- Longest Road, by Gaussian Curve
- Troubles, by Sylvain Chauvau
- Compesicion en Rojo, by Bernardo Bonezzi

#6. Etruscan Afterlife (Tuck, The Mysterious Etruscans)
50 Things That Made the Modern Economy - Infant Formula
Not every baby has a mother who can breastfeed. Indeed, not every baby has a mother. In the early 1800s, only two in three babies who weren’t breastfed lived to see their first birthday. Many were given “pap”, a bread-and-water mush, from hard-to-clean receptacles that teemed with bacteria. But in 1865 Justus von Liebig invented Soluble Food for Babies – a powder comprising cow’s milk, wheat flour, malt flour and potassium bicarbonate. It was the first commercial substitute for breastmilk and, as Tim Harford explains, it has helped shape the modern workplace.
