The surefire way to get a book published if you're a niche academic is take broad concept related to your field and write: How (Blank) Made the World. It's borderline airport literature. Every Boomer has read one; it's why you can find almost any person over the age of 45 that has read a book in the last 10 years to bend your ear on how Oysters, the 'number' Zero, an obscure Venetian scholar, Running shoes, Coffee, Probability, Rum or the colour Blue are in fact the *real* lynchpin to history. Funny that.
