Hello, Ron Kaufman here in my home library with another curated book recommendation for you. 

The title today is called Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari. 

Now, you may have already heard about this book because it’s become a global publishing sensation with 20 million copies sold in languages, all over the world. 

What you may not know is that Mr. Harare is a history professor at a University in Israel and he originally wrote this book as a history text for his students, but it got out and it got to the world, including to grateful readers like me and perhaps also to you. 

I like to encourage you to pick up this book by reading to you just the first three paragraphs-

“About 14 billion years ago, matter, energy, time and space came into being in what is known as the Big Bang. The story of these fundamental features of our universe is called Physics. 

About 300,000 years after their appearance, matter and energy started to coalesce in the complex structures called atoms, which then combined into molecules. The story of atoms, molecules, and their interactions is called Chemistry. 

About 4 billion years ago, on a planet called Earth, certain molecules combined to form particularly large and intricate structures called organisms. The story of organisms is called Biology. 

About 70,000 years ago, organisms belonging to the species Homo sapiens started to form even more elaborate structures called Cultures. 

The subsequent development of these human cultures is called History.”

Well, that’s the beginning of a book by a history Professor who has written a masterpiece. I enjoyed every word on every page and I recommend it to you.
