Maggie is one of those unusual YA protagonists who actually moves the storyline along herself. ![]() How is it shiny on the inside, Kat?

His near namesake, Neil Ferguson, had predicted lockdown would keep the UK death toll to under 6,700: it was not to be. ![]() Early attempts to prove their success on limiting the spread of the virus, he says, have ‘evaporated on closer scrutiny’. Niall Ferguson’s new book, Doom: The Politics of Catastrophe, offers a corrective, arguing that we must understand past calamities to put today’s into proper perspective. Ferguson’s verdict about the history of lockdowns is brutal. While 2020 was an uncommon year, the tendency to think that our time has no historical analogue is a common error-one that can have serious consequences if it causes us to ignore the lessons of the past.
