Excellent read. From the first agriculture to "present day" (it was written a few years ago, with an updated Forward). It looks at how innovations can bring about seemingly unrelated developments, and how global communication and trade links have enabled this, even in medieval times.Worth a read?
Does anyone ever buy the audio versions of books?
I have a few audio books, but not many. One is Nick Cave's Bunny Munroe, as he wrote the musical score specially for it. Really good, as I'm a NC fan.
I recall Stephen Fry saying he used audio books as a great way to work off the calories, by having them as he walked. The miles just flew by, as he listened to various books.
