Recent list recommendations:

From Zubin Al Genubi:

The New Money Management: A Framework for Asset Allocation, by Ralph Vince.

The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind, by Gustave Le Bon.

The Crowd. Must read. In crowds individual lose their intelligence, morals, and judgement and a new entity acts without credulity, irritably, and subject to whims, heroism and depravity.

1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed

William Huggins adds:

I enjoyed 1177 BC a few years back as it gave a general overview of the geopolitical state of play towards the end of the Bronze Age. It summarized most of the theories underpinning the "bronze age collapse" which occurred around that time and left less than half the "civilized" world in the state it had been a century before. Doesn't offer much in terms of new evidence but it a decent quick read.

From Nils Poertner:
