4 Stars • "How the Scots Invented the Modern World" by Arthur Herman is a historical exploration of the profound impact Scotland and its people have had on the development of the modern world. The book delves into the significant contributions of the Scots in various fields such as science, philosophy, literature, education, medicine, commerce, and politics during the 18th and 19th centuries. ⬇️

suvata It highlights the Scottish Enlightenment as a pivotal period that laid the groundwork for many of the modern world's fundamental ideas and institutions. 5mo
Pogue That was such a good book. 5mo
suvata @Pogue oh my gosh, I learned so much from it 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 5mo
Pogue @suvata next you should read How the Irish Saved Civilization by Cahill. That one is really good too 5mo

I was finishing this heavyweight nonfiction title about human enlightenment just as the Israel crisis began. I was feeling like everything in this age was great with the caveat of the ever present racism, social injustices, and on and on…but then.
Pinker makes the case that we‘re living in the best time possible and that humans will only continue to get smarter, better able to deal with death and disease and hopefully live in peace.⬇️

Chelsea.Poole The recent events have changed my view and subsequently my review. I do still feel hope, but this most recent devastation feels like a major set back for all the world. I can‘t say things are perfect, but I do have hope for the future and do still believe things are better in this age than they have been at any other point in history. He convinced me of that. 13mo
