Les champignons comestibles du Canton de Neuchtel by Favre, Louis - 1822-1904
Thirty years after Giordano Bruno was burnt alive Galileo was sentenced by the Roman Inquisition too - to life-long house arrest because he has claimed the earth would move around the sun . Dava Sobel tells his story in her great "Galileo's Daughter". Centered around the letters he received from his daughter Virginia, she tells the story of the Italian astronomer who was one of the first who build and used his own telescope to see the stars
Also by Mary Beard, and maybe even more interesting, even for people like me who had at school: "SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome" provides a well-written and nicely illustrated view on many aspects of the development of the empire and its people. .

This is an excellent from 2022 that I just read: 'Chip War: The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology' by Chris Miller.
This book will help you understand how integrated circuits (including memory and microprocessors) have become an important military, economic, and geopolitical asset.
How it all started with the invention of semiconductors, and particularly the in Bell Labs.
How thanks to semiconductors Japan became the second largest economy in the world and other countries in Asia gained a key geopolitical role.
How serious (sorry, software 'engineers') achieved an exponential rate of growth in the density of transistors within chips to the point of becoming indispensable assets in any aspect of life.
Completed reading the book Thinking Clearly with Data. The book reminded me of the potential dangers of blindly trusting statistics, as well as why it is sometimes worth relying on them.
The assignments at the end of each chapter also greatly contribute to a better understanding of the material read.

Listening to "A Memory Called Empire" by Akady Martine, and it is excellent.
I forgot what a joy it is to roll around in rich vocabulary, elegantly crafted sentences, and rich world building.
I'm reminded of well done court political intrigue stories, where every conversation is layered with multiple meanings.
The space-spanning human empire has a more meso-anerican flavor than the usual anglo "Rome in Space!" trope.
Good stuff

MURDERBOTS BACK, BUT not better than ever. In fact, the semi-human fighting machine is feeling vulnerableat the worst possible time, as it and the humans it protects are dealing with multiple interplanetary threats. Fast-paced, thoughtful. A MINUS
I've yet to read a by Claire North and her alter egos (Kate Griffin and Catherine Webb) that wasn't well written! Some themes appeal more than others, for example I liked her urban fantasy more than her magic realism ones but all worth a go!.
Okay. I've finished Rabbits by Terry Miles and...I don't know. I can't decide if I'm satisfied or not. He says in the acknowledgements that it started at 120k, and I think maybe they scalped it down too much
I'm not sure I like the ambiguity of the end, but I can also see how it could be fun and intriguing--matching the theme of the entire novel. I think maybe this is a that needs a group discussion!
"Lying is like farming, or draining marshland, or terracing a hillside or planting a grove of peach trees. It's an attempt to control your environment and make it better. A convincing lie improves on bleak, bare fact, in the same way human beings improve a wilderness so they can beat to live there."
I just love starting a new . I know it's not going to end well, they never do, but this sets things up so nicely, how could you possibly resist what comes next
