    I truly can't believe so few people here have this book!
    Yes, it's glossy, yes it has lots of pictures, but the writer is Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, for goodness sake! You are getting one of the BEST writers out there, and as a result I could not put this book down, literally!
    A truly magnificent triumph of a book. Ideas, indeed.

    Whatta Anthropology! This book, although a hard read, is awsome. Concludes thousands of years of our life on earth in smart, sophisticated and dazzling way!
