5 must read books while sheltering in place
https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2020-03-21/coronavirus-five-must-read-books-for-a-scary-new-era?srnd=premium
My top pick:
“Guns, Germs, and Steel”: Long an established classic, this multi-disciplinary epic by Jared Diamond attempts to explain why some societies develop and grow wealthy while others do not, combining geography, history, biology and many other branches of knowledge in a grand global survey. The second word in the title is of the greatest interest at present; in the book, Diamond examines how epidemics came to shape society as well as looking at their biological causes. And he makes clear how Europeans came to supplant the native populations of North America so completely: “That might not have happened without Europe’s sinister gift to other continents — the germs evolving from Eurasians’ long intimacy with domestic animals.” I recently embarked on re-reading it, and I am already discovering that the events of the last few months make it read very differently. This is the time to read or re-read.
