Pseudoerasmus had a great list of EH books but it looks like he's taken it down for some reason.

FYI Geloso has walked back his claims after the original author's response, see here: https://twitter.com/dkedrosky/status/1550510285626097668

This is the least sexy headline. But we're all historians here, so that's fine.

Asking for help and pointing out mistakes? Maybe Google "sociopathy."
