Title: Important but sluggish
Review: This is an excellent book in the sense that it impartsimportant information about why western culture dominates theworld. Much of it is just the luck of geography not any kindof inherent superiority. Now half way through the book I feellike it needs to just end. I get the point. Why another 300pages? In feel the book reads very sluggishly like a history text. The first part was interesting but the middle reallydrags with unintersting information.The book is chock full of facts and details. For an almostopposite tone (little details and mostly well supported generalizations but great reading) I suggest Robert Wright'sNonzero. This books feels like the reference section for Wright'sthough the are really books with different theses.
Is the review positive or negative?
