Trees of Power

I highly recommend Data Intensive Applications, as have many others on HN.

If you live around San Francisco, and don't know the history of the shore batteries across the Bay, Fortress Marin is a nice, short, illustrated history of California's coastal defenses. There are good places to go hiking / camping in that area around the old fortifications.

I'm into planting trees and gardening, so I thoroughly enjoyed Trees of Power by Akiva Silver.
