A collection of three things that inspired us in January.

A BOOK
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari
The description from Goodreads shares:
“100,000 years ago, at least six human species inhabited the earth. Today there is just one. Us. Homo sapiens.
In Sapiens, Dr Yuval Noah Harari spans the whole of human history, from the very first humans to walk the earth to the radical – and sometimes devastating – breakthroughs of the Cognitive, Agricultural and Scientific Revolutions. Drawing on insights from biology, anthropology, paleontology and economics, he explores how the currents of history have shaped our human societies, the animals and plants around us, and even our personalities. Have we become happier as history has unfolded? Can we ever free our behaviour from the heritage of our ancestors? And what, if anything, can we do to influence the course of the centuries to come?”
A PHOTOBOOK
Wild: The Legendary Horses of Sable Island by Drew Doggett
The artist’s website shares:
“In this long-awaited large-format coffee table book, discover the story of the wild and free horses of Sable Island as told through over 100, exquisitely reproduced photographs that inspire, thrill, and excite. Featuring never-before-seen images from Drew’s archive and personal writings that invite you on an intimate journey through a day on the island, this book is an ode to the incredible horses that have thrived, despite all odds, in a place man has failed to conquer.”
