Thank you for the insights.
Lately, I have also been thinking about different subjects such as flowers, art history, music theory, about animals (how insects, or bats work).
My question, how do you choose books if you intend to learn such subjects as non-expert? And if you can recommend any good books?
- AJRF 6y agoI would love to recommend The Peregrine by J.A. Baker if you've never read it before. It describes in fantastic and vivid detail every tiny nuance of how a peregrine lives, flies and hunts. The book is poetic in its prose and i've taken to looking at birds when I walk outside to try and see what Baker saw when he looked at the sky.
- simplegeek 6y agoThank you, looks great. I bought it. If there are any other books like that, please let me know. Thanks!
- olau 6y agoI have a sister with a degree in biology. I borrowed some of her books, like "introduction to zoology". If you've been through high school, books like that are self-contained. For instance, it had an appendix on organic chemistry. Highly recommended, those books taught me much more about the world we live in than the various books on physics I've read on my own. And science.
