The Sacred Canopy: How Bali Uses Umbrellas to Invite the Divine
In most parts of the world, an umbrella is a utilitarian object, tucked away in a bag or left by a door until the weather turns.

Yet, on March 30, 1867, the United States signed a treaty with the Russian Empire to purchase Alaska for **$7.2 million**.
