Books by Steven Johnson

Steven Johnson, Extra Life: A Short History of Living Longer , is a very good history of exactly what its title promises.

I have not yet read Steven Johnson, Enemy of All Mankind: A True Story of Piracy, Power, and History’s First Global Manhunt , but in general I enjoy his works and find them smart.

4. The Invention of Air: A Story of Science, Faith, Revolution, and the Birth of America (these subtitles are getting more and more all-encompassing!).  The author is Steven Johnson, another author always worth reading.  The topic is Joseph Priestley.  Here is Johnson’s blog .  Here is a good review .
