Product Description
Written from a consciously anti-enthnocentric approach, this fascinating work is a survey of the civilizations of the modern world in terms of the broad sweep and continuities of history, rather than the "event-based" technique of most other texts.

Undeserved bad rep
This book is often criticized for multitude of things, but none the less it really is a very good work that yields a lot of information and understanding from a single volume. And very easy to read too.
