Way of the World From the Dawn of Civilizations to the Eve of the Twenty-First Century

"Mr. Fromkin is no shrinking violet when it comes to the big-box categories of humanity. Religion with a capital R and Science with a capital S and Civilization with a capital C are just a few of the major characters striding across his pages. One can quibble with some of the details--it's hard to view the optimistic Theodore Roosevelt as a disciple of the pessimistic Thomas Malthus--but on the whole Mr. Fromkin recounts 'the greatest story ever told' exceedingly well, aided by a deep knowledge and an elegant prose style."Fromkin, David is the author of 'Way of the World From the Dawn of Civilizations to the Eve of the Twenty-First Century', published 2000 under ISBN 9780679766698 and ISBN 0679766693.
