Looking for a unique puzzle experience? Check out Word Solitaire, a new word-guessing game that features a spread-out deck of playing cards. Each letter in your guess is represented by a playing card; to check your guess, you quickly scan the row of cards at the bottom of the page. If the card is face-up in the display, the letter is in the word, but in the wrong spot. If the card is face-up and sticking up above the rest of the deck, the letter is in the correct position. If the card is not there at all, the letter is not in the word. If that sounds complicated, it isn't! Try one game and you'll get the hang of it right away.

Long before London and New York rose to international prominence, a trading route was discovered between Spanish America and China that ushered in a new era of globalization. The Ruta de la Plata or "Silver Way" catalyzed economic and cultural exchange, built the foundations for the first global currency, and led to the rise of the first "world city." And yet, for all its importance, the Silver Way is too often neglected in conventional narratives on the birth of globalization. Gordon and Morales re-establish its fascinating role in economic and cultural history, with direct consequences for how we understand China today.
