Biographies and history lessons
This month we will be exploring some excellent biographies and some great perspectives on rhythmical, repetitive history. The times are uncertain and everyone would like to know what’s around the next corner. It may be helpful to learn from the past and similar times. For this month, we have chosen these five books:
105 Kai Bird, Martin J. Sherwin: American Prometheus
209 Walter Isaacson: The Innovators
047 Jared Diamond: Guns, Germs and Steel
101 Jack Weatherford: Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World
073 George Dyson: Turing’s Cathedral
