This is a tough one, and I'm going to have to divide this up:
1. Appalachian Studies, @emhilly.bsky.social "Making Our Future," easily one of the most inspiring texts I've read in a long time. It deals with cultural matters, so a more nitty-gritty choice would be Ronald D. Eller's "Uneven Ground."
Christopher David Adkins, Ph.D.
I’m curious, so, historians (broadly defined), give me two book titles:
One: the one history book IN your field (however you define it) that is the absolute best, that everyone should read.
Two: the one history book OUTSIDE your field that you think is absolutely the best.
