John Nichols (2 February 1745 – 26 November 1826) was an English printer, author and antiquary. He is remembered as an influential editor of the Gentleman's Magazine for nearly 40 years; author of a monumental county history of Leicestershire; author of two compendia of biographical material relating to his literary contemporaries; and as one of the agents behind the first complete publication of Domesday Book in 1783.
He was born in Islington, London to Edward Nichols and Anne Wilmot. On 22 June 1766 he married Anne, daughter of William Cradock. Anne bore him three children: Anne (1767), Sarah (1769), and William Bowyer (born 1775 and died a year later). His wife Anne also died in 1776. Nichols was married a second time in 1778, to Martha Green who bore him eight children. Nichols was taken for training by "the learned printer", William Bowyer the Younger in early 1757. Nichols was formally apprenticed in February 1759 by Bowyer, whom he eventually succeeded. On the death of his friend and master in 1777 he published a brief memoir, which afterwards grew into the Anecdotes of William Bowyer and his Literary Friends (1782).

The consequences of the technological revolution are about to hit hard: unemployment will spike as new technologies replace labor in the manufacturing, service, and professional sectors of an economy that is already struggling. The end of work as we know it will hit at the worst moment imaginable: as capitalism fosters permanent stagnation, when the labor market is in decrepit shape, with declining wages, expanding poverty, and scorching inequality.

John Nichols, longtime political writer for The Nation, spoke to TYT Political Reporter Jordan Chariton in New Hampshire before the state's primary. Nichols had a strong take on the media's "horse race" coverage of politics as opposed to covering the substantive policy differences between candidates on both sides of the aisle. "All that comes across in most of our media is an absurd horse race; the horserace and then the policing" he said. Nichols also touched on the feasibility of Bernie Sanders actually implementing his agenda.
Writer John Treadwell Nichols offers an illuminating tour of his manuscript locker--describing the triumphs and heartbreaks of a writer's life. Nichols is highly regarded by intelligent critics and readers, and has published over 20 books including novels, essays, and natural history. Yet by his own estimate, roughly only one in four of his novels reaches the printed page. A striking element in appreciating Nichols' career is his Sisyphean dedication to the writer's craft--rewrite, rewrite, rewrite, rewrite, rewrite. With Nichols as our bemused Virgil, tour the nine circles of a writer's life. If you have ever wondered what it takes to become a great writer--climb on board. Nichols was born in Berkeley, California in 1940. His best known novels include the New Mexico Trilogy: The Mila...

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton moved closer to securing their respective party’s nomination with a series of victories Tuesday night. In the Republican race, Trump won Illinois, North Carolina and Florida—where his commanding victory pushed Florida Senator Marco Rubio out of the race. Trump also has a narrow lead over Senator Ted Cruz in Missouri. Trump’s one loss was in the key winner-take-all state of Ohio, where Ohio Governor John Kasich earned his first victory of the race. We speak to The Nation’s John Nichols about the results and the media coverage.
Republican Congressmember Paul Ryan is set to become House speaker after winning his party’s backing. Ryan replaces John Boehner, who announced his resignation last month after a lengthy dispute with far-right members of his own party. The tea party "Freedom Caucus" had threatened to hold a no-confidence vote amid disagreements with Boehner over negotiating with Democrats and how to use the Republicans’ House majority. Boehner was pressured to take a more confrontational approach with the White House and congressional Democrats over issues including government spending, immigration reform, Obamacare and abortion. Ryan is known for crafting sweeping budget proposals that target public spending, cut taxes for the wealthy and impose deep budget cuts. We speak to journalists David Cay Johnston...
John Treadwell Nichols (author of 'American Blood', 'The Magic Journey', and 18 other books) gives a guided tour of his home in Taos, New Mexico. With whimsy, irony, & wit -- Nichols offers a view into what makes a writer tick. Despite his many triumphs since first bursting onto the literary scene in 1965 with his novel 'The Sterile Cuckoo', John maintains an element of self-deprecating humor in looking back over his life and career. Nichols is probably best known for his New Mexico trilogy, which included 'The Milagro Beanfield War' (also released as a Hollywood film). As well as his fiction, Nichols has also published a number of illuminating books on nature and the environment -- including 'If Mountains Die' and 'On the Mesa'. Nichols latest novel--as of 2012-- is 'On Top of Spoon ...
