Review title: Better than any shorter, shorter than any better
Product review: "This," Australian historian Geoffrey Blainey writes in his preface, "as an attempt to write a world history that is not too voluminous. It tries to survey history since the time when the first people left Africa to settle the globe. Inevitably, some large themes which I investigated are described so fleetingly that they are like glimpses from the window of a passing train."If so, then Blainey manages to route his train through some of the most fascinating scenery to be found in the landscape of world history. Condensed from his already brief "Short History of the World," this is a terrific book, one of the most consistently interesting and entertaining I've read in years. Blainey does an amazing job of squeezing the history of human life on this planet into 450 small pages.
