The West in the World: A Review

I appreciate and recommend this book. There are a number of great resources that helps the reader immerse him/herself into the story of humanity.

A Solid Attempt at Covering the Whole of History

I believe these two historians have made a giant leap forward as it pertains to piecing together history, then doing it from as many perspectives as possible. The use of religion as a whole, not just a single one, to reflect its contributions - whether positive or negative - on an area has truly made this a fitting purchase. While I do not agree with all aspects or trains of thought, I can truly respect the effort and point of view of these two authors.
