Ive only read everitts bio of cicero which was good. Toynbee had a conservative and christian so take that as you want. Norwich isnt liked here though others love his byzantine trilogy. I personally didnt take to his writinf stule reading his book venice. I see livy moreso than polybius recommended but i think the consensis is that polybius and livy arenboth worth reading. Wickham is very well liked around here. Anthonys book is recommended now and again. Not sire about huntington.

Conservative and christian bent*

That said i think he was an accomplished scholar in his time but hes historiographically dated

Wickham's IOR is a dense dense read. It took a long time for me to plow through it. It does cover a middle ground between gloom and doom of Peter Heather/Bryce Ward Perkins vs the sunshine and rainbows of Peter Brown when it comes to Late Antiquity.

gr8. I think i've included most of them in the link in OP.

have you ever thought of organizing your recs by time period, theme or country like your last few?
>>3384965
>>3384966
i think theres value though in just doing it randomly. because when you make charts too ordered people are confronted with too many choices on one subject. the more jumbled pictures have the advantage that people can just take up books by whatever title or cover strikes their fancy and make random associations on books of very different times and places, which is fun and provoking (really there's just as much value in that imo as choosing a book for 'rational' reasons)

I made several charts on the portuguese empire but i never completed all of them. I have yet to make ones on portuguese africa, colonial brazil and the "portuguese atlantic". Here are all the books i've collected on colonial brazil though
https://pastebin.com/iXvFkrPT
it's not organized though.

i'll post the charts i've made on portugal so far though cause they have general works that'd cover the portuguese empire as a whole

Thanks, man

Any recs for East Asia, Central Asia, Middle East, and religious things like Gnosticism?
Or even stuff like Architecture/cities/settlements/etc?

>>3385100
afaik the charts are books taken straight from
rec threads in the order they're posted

any good books on early exploration/colonization of the americas?

stuff thats basically a compilation of first-hand sources would be best

>>3387486
Ah i had forgotten that the anon compiled them that way

>>3387411
Well if you've got little background in it, China: A History by John Keay is a nice start.

>>3387682
Add in Furies: War in Europe its honestly my favorite book on war in the early modern period being about what we would call war crimes in that early age. Its a horrifying piece.

What are some good books on the Old Swiss Confederacy (political systems, taxation, war, relgion, and trade, as well as town structure/culture), and post Napoleonic Swiss History?
