What an insane story that underscores how strange the financial markets are. Appreciated the more human story with great explainers on the way in which the particulars that are significant to the story operate. Without either, it'd be a textbook or woefully inadequate at describing what's going on.

A bit of non-fiction for a strange topic, when animals "break the law". Despite the introduction, it's almost entirely modern although it zooms out to get a global view of some issues that I hadn't ever thought about in my own little bubble. Overall, a really fun read about the balance of nature and a healthy dose of optimism at the end that left me on a positive note.

As people reading about the past, we tend to silo things in our minds rather than understanding the larger picture along with the context that it exists within. Having spent a bit of time reading about Chinese history and in particular, the founding of the People's Republic, I'm very guilty of this.
Luckily, books like this come along that better illustrate the connections between actors on the world's stage. There's something here that I haven't gotten from other sources that I believe would help Americans make better sense of the world we live in and how our fingerprints have shaped it. Of course, this is a very small slice of history but if you find this scratching an itch, there are many more helpful sources for you to dig in with.
