"The Story of Art"
This is a great book on art history ....though now somewhat dated. I'm now in the position of having to downsize my library and this book is one of the casualties. Pity but I won't be using it. I give it two stars.
Hardly a history of the world (mostly Europe really), but definitely a good starting point for future reading (precisely what I was looking for). The writing is intended for children, so it is a bit strange.
Ends after World War I.
Ends after World War I.
A small masterpiece, and probably the best thing going for enlightening young and/or struggling readers on the essential connections in the history of the world.
This gives a pretty good overview of world history, though it did seem to primarily center on Europe.
And though it was written for children, I thought some of the battles/wars and the people involved in them were described in too much detail considering this was an attempt to cover the entire history of the world... these bits became quite tedious for me, and I'm an adult.
Gombrich treats all religions as equal, which is good for a secular history book, but because of that, I wouldn't just give this to any child to read on their own without discussing the content with them. (Also, the earth is described as being millions/billions of years old.)
However, I did mostly like it and learned a few things myself, particularly where certain sayings have come from.
"...people change their opinions without even noticing. And then all of a sudden they become aware of it... Then they announce with pride: 'We are the new age.' And they often add: 'People used to be so stupid!'" p 163 (How true!)… (mere)
