“If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it."
 -Stephen Colbert

How the Potato Changed the World

From History & Archaeology | Smithsonian Magazine:

I just finished reading this same story while reading 1493, the fascinating book by Charles Mann. I read his book 1491 and simply had to read 1493. Now that I'm close to the end of that book I'm sad that there isn't another book like this on the horizon. What shall I read?
