Review title: If you only read or listen to one book....
Product review: I've listened to most of the Durant's 10,000 page Story of Civilization. When I came across this little gem, I was very pleased. To think that they could take all of those decades of research and reflection and condense them into about 100 pages is mighty impressive. It's also mighty valuable for us all as we go through the beginning of a new millenium. They give well-reasoned and well-supported arguments for their conclusions about the lessons we learn by studying history. They also have a charming sense of humor that comes out well here as well as in the larger works.I've listened to this several times on the library's copy and finally decided to have my own so that I could listen easily from time to time. It's good to be reminded of such valuable lessons.The recorded interviews on this edition are both charming and informative. They reinforce the content and give us further insights into their thinking.
