@MagnificentZio @DPJHodges In many respects it functions as a museum of plants. Another good book to read is 50 Plants That Changed The Course of History - that sets them in the context of politics, economics and indeed conflict.      источник

Experience the unimaginable work and challenges of a surgeon volunteering in some of the most dangerous conflict zones for over 25 years. Follow his extraordinary journey as he performs life-saving surgeries in places like Sarajevo and Aleppo, with minimal resources and under extreme conditions.

Bit rubbish at recommending books but have recently finished a few which are worth your while. 1. War Doctor by David Nott @NottFoundation. My god this book will move you and teach you. I find the medical world fascinating and loved the accounts of surgical procedures...      источник
Шпион и предатель book cover
Шпион и предатель
Самая громкая шпионская история времен холодной войны
Ben MacIntyre - 2018-09-18
Рейтинг Goodreads
Олег Гордиевский казался идеальным продуктом системы — его отец работал в НКВД, брат стал нелегалом-разведчиком КГБ, сам он окончил элитарный МГИМО, поступил на службу в Первое главное управление, получил звание полковника КГБ. Однако больше десяти лет он работал на МИ-6 и стал одним из ключевых агентов британской разведки, сыгравшим немалую роль в истории холодной войны. По его словам, делал он это исключительно из идейных соображений. В книге "Шпион и предатель", основанной в числе прочего на интервью с Гордиевским, британский писатель и историк Бен Макинтайр пытается разобраться, что заставило этого человека, столь глубоко укорененного в системе, восстать против нее.
