Your Theoretical Minimum

February 28, 2014 8:48 AM

Inspired by this post on the blue, I'm interested in the most condensed and most up-to-date overview of everything in your field.

There is probably some overlap with this thread, but it is 7 years old, and its closed. And I"m not primarily interested in accessibility, though it is certainly a good thing. I'm particularly interested in: modern evolutionary theory (including epigenetics and behavioral genetics), post-bubble economics and finance, human psychology, linguistics, and criminal and social justice. But anything and everything, in any format (videos, coursera courses, podcasts, whatever) is welcome.

Recently read this comic book overview of Economics, Economix. Their website has a great teaching guide as well.

The Principles of Digital Audio by Ken Pohlmann was a fantastic resource that I used when I was switching into my current position as an audio applications engineer.

If it's at all possible to concisely sum up history-as-a-field (rather than history-as-a-collection-of-histories), I'd say John Lewis Gaddis' The Landscape of History is a very good attempt. It's at least a good read on historiography, anyway.
