Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

I have read several reviews and believe it to be the perfect Christmas gift for a young sous chef I know. Then when he is finished, I plan on borrowing it.

1491 New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus
by
Charles C Mann
Chris Langlois
, January 01, 2011
This is a stunning and engagingly written story, based on recent archeological, geological, and other research, of who was living in the Western Hemisphere, how they were living, and what the agriculture, cultures, and politics looked like. Every page is packed with terrific stuff. Here is an example: "When Columbus landed...the central Mexican plateau alone had a population of 25.2 million.By contrast, Spain and Portugal together had fewer than 10 million inhabitants." This one book amounts to a college course in the history, science and archaeology of our hemisphere. And, best of all, it is great fun!
