In a dusty German bookshop, the noted historian Joel F. Harrington stumbled upon a remarkable document: the journal of a sixteenth-century executioner. The journal gave an account of the 394 people Meister Frantz Schmidt executed, and the hundreds more he tortured, flogged, or disfigured for more than forty-five years in the city of Nuremberg. But the portrait of Schmidt that gradually emerged was not that of a monster. Could a man who practiced such cruelty also be insightful, compassionate―even progressive?

In The Faithful Executioner, Harrington teases out the hidden meanings and drama of Schmidt's journal. Deemed an official outcast, Meister Frantz sought to prove himself worthy of honor and free his children from the stigma of his profession. Harrington uncovers details of Schmidt's life and work: the shocking, but often familiar, crimes of the day; the medical practice that he felt was his true calling; and his lifelong struggle to reconcile his craft with his religious faith.

Mathematics: Its Content, Methods and Meaning by Kolmogorov et al. This is a readable summary by the top Soviet mathematicians, and as the Soviets had no copyright it is incredibly inexpensive. If you have mastered this, you are pretty well prepared for anything.
No idea how true this is but I've been meaning to learn some maths for a while.

BAKE MY CAKE BITCH

https://pjmedia.com/instapundit/270476/#respond INDEPENDENT BOOKSELLER: I don’t like selling Hillbilly Elegy because it’s basically like Mein Kampf. From the comments: “And this is why people prefer Amazon. Great prices, awesome delivery, no judgment. No hectoring. No bullying. No preaching. Clickity-click, and I’ve purchased what I want.”

Have we discussed Hillbilly Elegy here yet? Not bad. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0166ISAS8/
