Just finished Guns, Germs and Steel by Jarod Diamond. A bit longer than it needed to be for my purposes but he covers the material in some depth, I&#x27;d definitely recommend it.<p>Prior to that I&#x27;d read Psycho Vertical by Andy Kirk Patrick which I would very strongly recommend, I don&#x27;t think you need to be into climbing to enjoy it.<p>I think I&#x27;m about to start reading What the doormouse said by John Markoff or finish reading Technical revolutions and financial capital by Carlota Perez. I think I&#x27;ll leave the latter and restart it when I&#x27;ve more brain time to spend on it.
