I'm wanting to start studying history more so I picked up some books that my parents had. Has anyone read these? Are any of these worth reading?
- Holy War: The Crusades and Their Impact on Today's World (by Karen Armstrong)
- The Essential Kabbalah (by Daniel C. Matt)
- The Bhagavad-Gita (translated by Barbara Stoler Miller)
- The Tibetan Book of the Dead (translated by Robert A. F. Thurman
- The Way of a Pilgrim (translated by R.M. French)
- Tao Te Ching (by Lao Tzu, translated by Victor H. Mair)
- Day of Empire (by Amy Chua)
- A History of God: The 4000 year quest of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam (by Karen Armstrong)
- Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing the War on Terror (by Anonymous)
- The Silk Roads (by Peter Frankopan)
Any opinions would be much appreciated!
I'd reccommend starting with History of God. I haven't read it myself, but what I liked to do when I was starting out was read a big volume that covered a very long and broad period of history, and from there I could pick out what I found to be the most interesting parts and do more specialized reading on them.

History of God is a fantastic book
>>2104446
Didn't read any of these but I'll try to help.
Some seems not worth reading if you want to study history seriously, like the Karen Armstrong ones. Basically you should not read novels, fictions, or books written by people who are not historians unless you want be casual about it.
Otherwise raw material like Tao Te Ching can be good, though you might be lost if you don't have any context. For example Herodotus is the first real historian, his books are invaluable, but it can get really dry and you might want to jump ahead and read historians who studied his work and made books about it if you're not into historiography.

>>2104200
> is it about monarchy that made it so prevalent around the world throughout history?
It's simple
>And why has it recently been in decline?
The world got complex
>I'm the guy in charge around here, you all work for me or you get the wheel
It's a system even a uneducated peasant can easily understand.
>>2104200
>What is it about monarchy that made it so prevalent around the world throughout history?
Because the people disagreed they were killed by the soldiers of the king.
>And why has it recently been in decline?

How exactly did the economy work in Medieval societies like Europe and Ancient China work?
Weren't the peasants taxed produce like grain and they paid that to live on land? How did they even make money from this?
Did anybody ever get tax exemptions? What did that mean in general?
What about trade? Wouldn't all most places have is produce most places also have? I can understand some place having rare minerals or something but its not really making much sense to my dumb self.
>>2103817
>Weren't the peasants taxed produce like grain and they paid that to live on land? How did they even make money from this?
They made more produce than was taxed, and they ate it. Making money wasn't the goal, there wasn't much to buy yet.
Economics as a field didn't even exist until after the medieval period was over.
