If, like Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, you enjoy beer, you might consider reading A Natural History of Beer, by Rob DeSalle and Ian Tattersall, but be prepared for a deep dive to the bottom of their glass.

A sequel to their earlier 2015 work, A Natural History of Wine, this exhaustively researched tome explores, in great and sometimes plodding detail, the entire universe and history of the drink, but you’ll do yourself a favor by ensuring that you’re part of their target audience. When I say this book is a “deep dive” I’m talking about depths approaching the Mariana Trench.
