Woman In Pink Reclining on a Canape, Theodore LeBrun, 1819, French
Daily Thoughts 06/24/2019
I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.
I finished reading The Horse, The Wheel and Language How Bronze Age Riders From the Eurasian Steppes Shaped the Modern World by David W. Anthony at the laundromat. A lot of the material in this book comes from archaeology from Russia and the Balkans which was not easily available until now. Even though this book had a lot of academic material in it, I still found it fascinating. There was a lot about the domestication of horses, how the wheel was first used for wagons, then chariots, as well as a lot on burial practices and customs. This book is interesting from both a historical and archeological perspective. There is also material on linguistics which adds to the content. I found this well worth reading.
