Title: Great pre-text for history
Review: I can't add much here that reviewers before me haven't touched upon. Truely unique interwoven account of history and science. I'm not really a "science guy" but more of a history buff and I found this to be a great pre-text for history. If you like American or European history, this book is a great way to fill in some of the mystery between the start of civilization and the modern establishment of nation states. Some people have found fault with pedantic aspects of the book but I found these easy to brush aside. It drags a bit toward the end but it's a surprisingly quick read.
