Book Review: A Little History of the World

A Little History of the WorldA Little History of the World by E.H. Gombrich
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great overview. Easy to read and understand. I recommend it to anyone curious about the past and the things that shaped our present. It is important to be aware of the past... However, this is history based on the people from high-income countries. Unfortunately, what happened in low-income countries doesn't stand out or is usually of little importance to the history of the world.
