"A Princess of Mars" (1917) Edgar Rice Burroughs

It is the 1st book in his Barsoom series and the movie "John Carter" was based on it. The book is very good the movie, not so much

The Age of Empathy: Nature's Lessons for a Kinder Society - Frans de Waal

i'm a bit torn over this one

there are a lot of really amazing animal anecdotes on why natural selection should favor empathy and cooperation

but

i don't agree with the assumption that the default human society position is individualism - especially when it's argued using a blockbuster movie from 1987 as an example of proof

a small gripe - overall good read
