The Mongols are known for one thing: conquest. But in this first comprehensive history of …
This meticulously researched book, brimming with insights, shatters the simplistic image of the Mongols as barbaric conquerors and instead paints a vivid picture of a complex and flexible empire. Favereau sheds light on the ingenious social and political structures that underpinned the Horde's success and reveals a regime that fostered trade, religious tolerance, and a surprisingly sophisticated administration.
The book's greatest strength is its ability to challenge conventional narratives. Far from existing solely for conquest, Favereau argues that the Horde was a central hub for the Eurasian commercial boom. The “Mongol Exchange” facilitated the exchange of goods and ideas across vast distances, leaving an undeniable mark on the world we live in today.
As she concludes ”Nomads drove global history, too, and none more so than the people of the Horde.”

We are better off when our decisions are guided by evidence and reason but working with data can be tricky. Data can behave in ways that violate our intuition and expectations. It's easy to be fooled.
Downey's ability to explain complex concepts in a simple and easy-to-understand way is truly remarkable. Downey draws on a wide range of case studies to illustrate the principles of statistical thinking encouraging readers to question assumptions and be wary of misleading statistics. He debunks common statistical fallacies and teaches readers how to avoid falling into traps that can lead to misinterpretations and bad decisions.
All of the code the author used to do the analysis and generate the figures is now available online (allendowney.github.io/ProbablyOverthinkingIt/intro.html), which is just perfect.

A great book whose brilliance, as so many of King's novels, lies in its exploration of the complex interplay between the supernatural and the psychological.
The Overlook's evil influence is both tangible and intangible, blurring the lines between reality and hallucination. Jack's descent into madness, fueled by alcoholism, repressed anger, and the hotel's sinister influence, is both terrifying and relatable, as we witness the gradual unraveling of a man teetering on the brink of insanity.
And the ending is terrific.
