See allA stunning re-examination of the purpose of medicine. This book is excellent at questioning whether the treatment processes are antithetical to the patient's values.
This book is a stellar history of water policy through top-down and “great men” lenses, delivered in a dense, drawn-out format.
Raw Dog is a delightfully crude travel memoir that recounts a journey around the United States filled with the overconsumption of hot dogs, heartbreak, and a class-conscious history of urban development, meat packing, and national identity.
Cameron Blevins has created a masterpiece with this blend of niche history and spatial analysis. The use of spatial data to drive an investigation into the functions of the early post office allows for a top-down perspective on how the institution was able to operate so effectively. Paper Trails also provides an excellent insight into the day-to-day lives of settlers and how their interactions were shaped by this institution. I appreciated the nuanced look at how this system effectively encouraged settler colonialism and the destruction of indigenous peoples. This is an essential book on human geography in my library and a wonderful introduction to the field of spatial analysis.
A great guide to leading a revolution geared toward new leaders organizing members of the dominant social groups.
