    <body><![CDATA[The detail in this book regarding the history of civilization is amazing.  I've only gotten halfway through the first massive tome, and I've learned so much about ancient history and how cultures developed.  Highly recommended if you want a good perspective on why the world is as it is today.]]></body>
