i love history,thank you for your recommendations.looking forward to your recommendations of european history for beginner~

[@shawnaripari]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I actually don't have a ton of experience with European history as I'm a Canadianist and all of my graduate training has been North American focused. I've mostly read survey books (which tend to be the least interesting) and a few 'canon' pieces. I have done quite a bit of transnational reading but it's usually not European and when it is it's food studies scholarship, which is very interesting but not what people generally want to read when getting some context on European history. All that to say, I've linked an article with 100 great European history books. I hope you fid some interesting reads on there! bookauthority.org/books/best-european-history-books

Hi. I was wondering if you could recommend a good World History book. I remember in high school we used a book that did not have too many pictures, was structured very nicely, and explored events/times/eras in reasonable detail. Can't remember what it was called, and at the time I could not have cared less about it, but now some 20 years later I'm really wanting to get a good straight-to-the-point World History book (don't mind if it's a dry read), and willing to spend around US100. Thanks!

Hello! For “Food Politics,” do you have any book suggestions that talks about the information in “Food Politics” but is more up to date (2010-present)? Thanks!

[@shawnaripari]

Unfortunately I don't really have anything similar that's newer that I've also read. There was a flurry of research/writing in the early 2000s up to about 2010-ish, so most of my other reads come from that period. The closest reads I have surround obesity and fatness, which are related topics but I'm not sure that's what you're looking for. I think the closest would be Julie Guthman's Weighing In: Obesity, Food Justice, and the Limits of Capitalism which focuses on obesity in specific. It's from the same people who put out Nestle's book (California Studies in Food and Culture), they have a great food studies program so they publish a TON of great food related work historical and modern! Guthman's book does read very academic though. Another favourite is Fearing the Black Body by Sabrina Strings on the Racial Origins of Fat Phobia. Also academic leaning, and not so much on food politics, but a related topic and very good! Guthman's was published around 2015 and is more of a present-day study (if my memory serves) whereas Strings's is a historical one and published around 2020. Fat in the Fifties is also an hounourable mention, but again very academic, and historical, 2019.

A good book is JonBenet Ramsey, The Great American Tragedy. It investigates the death of a young girl in 1996, and traces the history of America from the start of the internet and the change in mainstream media.
