@lauraashe.bsky.social happy birthday badger!
Books are the perfect Christmas gift. You give a piece of yourself to someone special. The person receiving the gift thinks that you think they are smart (regardless if this is actually true or not). They're easy to get and fairly inexpensive. Plus, they're easy to wrap. Give books.
My new book, The American Revolution and the Fate of the World, is a synthesis, which means it rests on the shoulders of dozens of experts in lots of different subfields. The good folks at Shepherd gave me the chance to highlight five of my favorites. Take a look!
That’s right! Come on out tomorrow!!
Thanks Kevin!
