The Secret History of Freemasonry
Communicate with your local boat owners.Book Review: "The Lives Of Bees"
Bees have existed in the wild for 100 million years, while we humans have only been around for a scant ten thousand. For as long as we've existed *as humans*, we've co-existed with bees.
Yet despite this, there is a big difference between how bees live in wild colonies, versus how humans treat them in man-made hives.
In "The Lives Of Bees", Dr. Thomas Seely outlines decades of research, experiments, and bee hunting to show how bees live when left on their own, and what we can learn from that to keep better hives ourselves.
A fascinating look at the hive as an organism. I learned a lot. It was gripping. Highly recommended.

"Burning Down the House: How Libertarian Philosophy Was Corrupted by Delusion and Greed" by Andrew Koppelman
I found this book very helpful to understand a) what is, b) why (in a well-managed form) it is probably the best economic system we're going to get, c) how conservatives have perverted and shaped it, and d) how to push back.

Again with drugs, it is the unknown which is the horrific factor. Most people get their information on the subject from the yellowest of yellow newspapers, magazines and novels. So darkly deep is their ignorance that that do not know what the word meanslike us so often, yes

(exercise for Mathstodon: find Hartshorne)
Been reading Rebel Chef, the memoir of Dominique Crenn. Emma Brockes probably helped a lot in structuring and refining but it's still a memoir - well-written or not, readers' interest in her life very much decided their opinions.
One thing that strikes out though, is that she mentioned Anthony Bourdain briefly,
"If you read Kitchen Confidential, it is apparent there was something within him he couldnt get past."
That coincides entirely with my opinion of his book. She deliberately kept it vague and that's understandable. But I don't have a reputation to upkeep - it's apparent that Bourdain knew full well how vast the culinary world is and he's spent his life down a dead end. He was at best a very competent operator, but unlikely someone who could carry an establishment to a new height. Out of sheer luck he became a celebrity, yet he couldn't shake away his feeling of "betraying his comrades".
Yet most people mourn his telly persona instead of the struggling individual he was.
