    Awesome, that sounds like I’d enjoy checking it out (and not just because if I didn’t, I’d feel bad about the effort you put into finding it)

    Tangentially related: It’s unfortunate and possibly ironic that the people who would most benefit from learning some history are often ill-equipped with the skills needed to study history. My late best friend was a historian, and as a scientist, something I cherished in our friendship was the insight into the historian’s perspective. It felt like a jarringly different way of viewing the world, but that’s why it felt useful. He’d probably feel proud (and a little smug) to see that my interest in history has lasted even though he wasn’t here to feed it.
