Because you appear to enjoy data, data analysis, drawing various conclusions thru data analysis and evaluating conclusions others have drawn from their analysis of data...I would recommend Malcolm Gladwell books. Ever read this one?

"For more than 150 years, the hills and cedar breaks of west central Texas was populated by a tight society of fiercely independent country folk known as "The Cedar Choppers." They were Scottish, Irish and Welsh migrants from Appalachia who scratched out a way of life in the hard scrabble of the hill country, making a living by cutting and selling cedar logs. Who are these people? And where did they go? Roberts set out to answer those questions and more in his new book."

In my experience, the Appalachian folks I’ve known seem to have an unparalleled work ethic sewn into their DNA. I may check out this book. Thanks for posting it!

If you want to understand global politics, this book is great. Why all the conflict in the Middle East? Why has Africa had such a difficult time getting untracked? Why does Putin take such a hard line on the Ukraine/Crimea? This book attempts to outline it all. Very interesting.
