Fascinating history of encyclopedias, from the print versions over Encarta to Wikipedia
5 stars
Great summary of the history of #encyclopedias with lots of fascinating insights and a focus on the #EncyclopædiaBritannica.

Astonishing book about the modern history of Ireland
5 stars
This is one of those rare books, that show you the complete picture of a country.

Fantastic Chronicle of the Pandemic
5 stars
Detailed and fact-filled account of the first years of the Pandemic, full of input from scientists. Even if you read all the articles in the last years, you'll find countless new informations and much better explanations. The best summary until now.
