Our book collection

From time to time, we talk about books in the context of our conversation.

The books can be found on our resources page of EMHS, but from time to time, we want to light up the blog by posting the list.

By no means is this list exhaustive, and these are books we think people might be interested in and have caught our attention.

As the new year is here, we want people to be educated, and some of these books do that.

In October or early november, we talked about the books in no particular order, and today, we want to present the entire list once again for those who want to see just the list.

All books lead to Amazon. You may search BARD and other services as you see fit, as some may be on other services.
