These are books that interest me and that I have recently read. I find them to be thought provoking and so they make my recommended list.
The Alphabet Versus the Goddess by Leonard Shlain This is an
interesting historical review based on the premise that Western culture reached
a divergent point when written language emerged and replaced images in human
communication. The ramifications affected the development of abstract thought,
the creation of male dominate social structures and much more according to his
theory. It is an interesting read.
The End of Time by Juilian Barbour This is about as obtuse as reading about
string theory, but I have to say that if looked at from an Eastern point of
view, there are glimmers of reflection that make this theory very intriguing. If
you are a flat earth type, this book is not for you.
