Suggest me a non-Fiction book with a good multi-causal analysis (any topic)

I like reading non-fiction books, about almost any topic – history, economics, geography, travel, science etc. Here are some of the books I recently and liked to different degrees:

* “Why Nations Fail” by Acemoglu, Robinson (Non-Fiction)
* “Guns, Germs and Steel” by Jared Diamond (Non-Fiction)
* “Thinking in Systems” by Donella Meadows (Non-Fiction)
* “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley (Fiction)
* “Anti-Fragile” by Nassim Nicholas Taleb (Non-Fiction)
* “Capitalism And Freedom” by Milton Freidman (Non-Fiction)

What I didn’t like about some of these books (e.g. Guns, Germs and Steel) is they rely too much on a mono-causal explanation (environmental determinism) of highly complex systems (human civilization), and in many ways diminish the impact of various other causes. The book ‘Thinking in Systems’ does a good job at explaining how to think about highly complex systems with various moving components, and I think Anti-Fragile also does a good job at highlighting how thinking mono-causally can lead to disastrous effects.

I recently purchased “The Making of the Atomic Bomb” by Richard Rodes, which was recommended to me by a co-worker a while ago. Apparently it does a good job at covering various key aspects (scientific, political, individual) of the first atomic bomb.

Are there any other good books that do justice to explaining and understanding several potential causes of a phenomena (could be historical, socio-economic, phyiscal – doesn’t matter) and talk about how all of these factors played into each other?
