Civilization

the West and the Rest
Nov 11, 2015John_M rated this title 3.5 out of 5 stars
A reasonable premise for an explanation of the rise an dominance of western countries in the world. Lots of interesting history. At times I got frustrated when he seemed to wander off the point of a chapter. For example, in discussing the ascent of medicine in western Europe he starts discussing atrocities of Germans in early 20th century in what is now Namibia.
