Tim Carmody, paleoblogger

Tim’s guest-blogging for Jason Kottke this week! Follow him there! It’s gonna be good! Paleoblogging, people!

One of his first posts, about the city (and idea) of Cordoba, is ace. I was impressed with myself while reading it because I knew some of the history already; that’s thanks to Destiny Disrupted, a new-ish history of the world told from an Islamic POV. It’s the best book I’ve read in months; I’ll have more to say about it at some point.
