To get a decent coverage of history takes far more than four, alas. Thread:https://twitter.com/cryptodoodle/status/978815100894269442 …
The Measure of Reality (also Crosby) The 10,000-Year Explosion (Cochran & Harpending: genetics, but very relevant to history) The Most Powerful Idea in the World (Rosen) The Printing Revolution in Early Modern Europe (Eisenstein) The Fourth Part of the World (Lester)
A History of Western Technology (Klemm) Glass: A World History (MacFarlane & Martin) Conquest, Tribute & Trade (Erlichman) To Rule the Waves (Herman) Money Changes Everything (Goetzmann)
A Splendid Exchange (Bernstein) Masters of the Word (also Bernstein) The Black Book of Communism (Murphy & Kramer, eds.)
Interesting. I would add 8 important (& readable) additions on modern #history:
1) The Prize
2) House of Morgan
3) Victorian Internet
4) Five Equations that Changed the World
6) An Edible History of Humanity
7) The Joint Stock Company
8) The Assent of Money
And yes, I skipped #5. ..guess I'm still writing that one :)
I would humbly add Sapiens (Yuval Noah Harari) to the list
Also, for a brief overview of world history - The Lessons of History by historians Will and Ariel Durant. They also have a more comprehensive 11-volume version.
@cryptodoodle I would also humbly add A People's History of the United States by Zinn and Guns, Germs, & Steel by Diamond
The work of Henri Pirenne, on how the collapse of trade in the Mediterranean unfolded at the end of the Roman Empire (inflation) and the start of Muslim rule, helps understand what could happen, should Pax Americana in the Pacific Ocean end, for probably similar reasons...
