This was wonderful to read, your picks are very interesting! In particular, I think I will add "Wheels of Commerce" to my read list for 2023, it sounds like a fascinating look into history! I find that I enjoy historical books more as time goes on as well, and found it refreshing that everything you picked here had an intriguing cultural significance!
Thank you for sharing your 2023 picks 😁 !PIZZA
My greatest pleasure if I have inspired you even a little bit.
The books of this history professor are very deep and detailed, too much for my level, so I have to screen it a bit, to have the part suitable for me. But the results of this 'screening' are amazing. He was maybe the first, who applied Economy and Geography knowledge for better analysis of historical processes -- and thats 100% amazing.
🙏 have a great year of 2023, in reading and all the rest!
