Title: A completely refreshing view of history
Review: While I enjoy reading history, I recollect so little of my reading that I can hardly call myself a 'history buff', which I wish I were. 'The Discovers' has given me handles with which to recall historical events. It has given me a completely new appreciation of the intelligence, courage, and foibles of such men as Newton and Columbus. History is so full of important violence that it would seem that avoiding focus on wars would make a history dilute both in substance and in interest. Yet this book is incredibly readable, exciting, and provides a much deeper understanding of history than I have been exposed to before. I highly recommend this book.
