Boring but excellent
9/9/20065.00 of 5 stars
Boring book had to have it for a western civ class. Very informative about everything you may possibly want to know about civilization.
False and Biased representation of history
9/13/20071.00 of 5 stars
This book has many false and biased representations of history. It's depiction of Indian history is completely and utterly false. Check the statement that Indian civilization was influnced by Mesopotamia (which started around 6000-4000BCE) than check Indian civilization which started around (8000BCE). How can Mesopotamian civilization influence Indian civilization, if according to the book, Indian cilization started 2000 years before Mesopotamia? Should it not be the other way round? All these thinking came from MaCaulay's bias of a great civilization and Max Muller's obedience to Macaulay. Please write a better book with some true substance. Stop teaching kids false history.
