The Ezra Klein Show

Mark Leonard's, in my view, very good book on international relations called The Age of Unpeace. All this story of economic interdependence and the weaponisation of interdependence, in my view, is very well captured there.

Mark Lennar's, in my view, very good book on international relations called The Age of Unpeace.

Georgi Gospodinov, who is called Time Shelter. It's also a very, very good book, which makes, in my view, the most beautiful assertion that the only time machine that exists is a man, human imagination.

Georgi Gospodinov... who is called Time Shelter. And this is an interesting book.

I write about ghosts in The Glass Hotel, which I think ...

There are a lot of ghosts. There are nonlinear structures where, you know, in Station 11, a character dies on page two or three. ... I write about ghosts in The Glass Hotel, which I think I just like the idea of some kind of continuation.

I think ... neither was my friend Emma Straub who just published a time travel novel.

So there's a book called The Course by Ed Miller. It's a book about how to play poker. I think there's a lot of metaphors for poker and politics. And I think it's a fun book if you want to get good at your home game.

I have three books... So there's a book called The Course by Ed Miller. It's a book about how to play poker. I think there's a lot of metaphors for poker and politics. It's a fun book if you want to get good at your home game. It's a great introductory read that I think will set you on the path of at least playing in a fairly disciplined way.

The first is A Theory of System Justification. It's a relatively new John Jost. It's definitely not a light read, but it's a very, very interesting perspective. One way of understanding where political ideology and identity come from and why it is that a really core psychological precept that we call tolerance of ambiguity is so predictive of why certain people are conservative where other people are progressive.

And then the book I just finished yesterday was a book of essays by Anne Patchett whose fiction I read a lot, but these are essays and it's called These Precious Days. And it's just kind of a delightful morsel of life and family and connection and owning a bookstore and dealing with the pandemic.

Another book that I think is great, an Australian guy by the name of Flanagan, who wrote a book called The Narrow Road to the North about war experiences and how war experiences impact on people and get split off.

Serhii Plokhy's works include The Gates of Europe, Lost Kingdom, and Chernobyl, which I highlighted as essential histories of Ukraine and Russia.

I will just plug my colleague Serhii Plokhy, who's the chair of Ukrainian history at Harvard, one of many terrific Ukrainian historians now working in North America, who has an overall history of Ukraine called Gates of Europe.

She's coauthor of the book Mr. Putin, Operative in the Kremlin and author of There's Nothing for You Here.

She's the author of the books Mr. Putin, Operative in the Kremlin, and There Is Nothing For You Here.

Mary Serrati's Not One Inch, which is a very recently published history of USRussian relations in the postCold War period, covering NATO expansion and how steps by both the West and Russia created a longrunning security spiral.

She basically looks at how the USRussian relationship went from actually being in a very good place in 1991 to being basically dead today and how steps by both the West and Russia created this sort of longrunning largescale security spiral.

But there's a new book out by Mary Elise Sorotti on the whole evolution of these discussions about NATO and NATO enlargement that goes into all of the documents and interviewing all the people who took part in this called Not One Inch.

The most articulate expression of the liberal international order is A World Safe for Democracy by John Ikenberry.

The best scholar who's written on this is a guy named John Ikenberry at Princeton, and I think the book is called A World Safe for Democracy, and encapsulates what is this thing, the rulesbased international order, the liberal international order that the U.S. created.

Lewis Mumford's Technics and Civilization, that's an early 20th century book that really pushed those ideas.

Lewis Mumford in the 1930s in his book, Technics and Civilization makes a great deal of this.

Well, since we brought it up, I would say the brain dead megaphone book of essays by George Saunders, which is a great, great book of essays that I highly, highly recommend. I was just thinking about this book today.

The Braindead Megaphone is a book of his nonfiction essays, came out long ago. But it has changed how I think about media to this very day.

Well, the first is Supersizing the Mind by Andy Clark. He's the originator of the extended mind theory. ... he writes like a dream. He's so funny and clever, and I really enjoy his writing always.

The second is Mind in Motion by Barbara Tversky. ... that's about how the body affects the way the mind operates. And it's just a great primer on embodied cognition.

One of them was Andre SchwarzBart's book in the late 50s on The Last of the Just. Astonishing book. Had a tremendous impact.

Well, one of them I quoted from earlier, and that is The outermost house by Henry Beston. It says, we need another and a wiser and perhaps more mystical concept of animals for the animal shall not be measured by man. They are not brethren. They are not underlings. They are other nations caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth.

Another book that I adored is written by my best friend, Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, who lived with the Bushmen who are now called the San. She's actually written a number of books about this, but one is called The Old Way. It is an absolutely gorgeous, beautiful book.

Another book that I adored is written by my best friend, Elizabeth Marshall Thomas... one is called The Old Way.

And this is a description of how humans probably lived over much of the planet for many thousands of years. And it's an absolutely gorgeous, beautiful book.

My own, The Deep Places, is just out this week.

I just wrote a book about this, which is out in the fall... It's called The Deep Places.
