To discuss your weekly readings of books, textbooks and papers.

I'm still reading Ben Wilson's "Metropolis" as I've been very slow this week and I ended up reading almost nothing.

1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus

It's quite good so far. I was worried it would be very modern politically and it doesn't seem to be. Just interesting and matter of fact

Read 1493 next, it's about the Columbian exchange.

The chapters about the Amazon in 1491 are among the most interesting, I love how the book tackles archeology, ecology and paleoclimatology.

I'll add it to the list! Were you the one who recommended 1491? I know it was someone here who did that lead to me grabbing it.

Yes, I think I recommended it twice. The book was published in 2006 so I recommend checking some new publications just in case some of it is outdated as archeologists keep digging new findings, especially about the early settlers of the Americas.
