It isn't dry, with a lot of tidbits thrown in. <br/><br/>He also has a &quot;premise&quot; woven throughout the book, that with the change from moral thinking to &quot;relative&quot; thinking, there was a huge shift in culture and history. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42774248">more...</a>]]></body>
