Oh completely. It's only intended as such - he has a whole series of them flagging up important books and historians in various areas of study.
I did enjoy the pinko bingo though The Making of the English Working Class is one my favourite history books. Deeply problematic, as any history which adheres to a grand narrative is bound to be, but fascinating and beautifully written. It's a wonderfully human book, I think. Thompson did a brilliant job of breathing life into his subjects.

Drone footage of the aftermath of the Malibu fire. Concrete slabs with a pile of ashes that used to be a house, yet green trees between the slabs.

The trees will soon die from the heat of the fire and turn brown.

But why doesn't it look like this, it's hard to believe those houses burning up didn't generate enough heat to cook that greenery.

The streets are so clean. I guess ashes blow away.

"Man, it sure is hot."
"Yeah, but, it's not too bad under this beautiful shade tree." "And I feel safe here, with my bike." Spontaneous my big ol'hairy butt!!!! That tree laid in wait for some unsuspecting dude to get all hot, and come to the tree for respite from the heat. And then, when he least expected it...Gotta be one of them Australian trees that follows ya home at night and tries to bugger ya in ya sleep.
