Decent books
- Emlen, Animal Weapons
- Harari, Sapiens (maybe the best short history of humanity available)
- Weinberg, To Explain the World
- Chayes, Thieves of State
As Bryan Caplan wrote, The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels was surprisingly good. I think the book is factually inaccurate and cherry-picked in several places, and it seems fairly motivated throughout, but nevertheless I think the big picture argument basically goes through, and it’s an enjoyable read.

>Harari, Sapiens (maybe the best short history of humanity available)
For those interested, there is a also a Coursera online course.
