It's also possible to read and absorb it in small pieces, which is a real advantage for sick or busy people. While this book would not appeal to guns-and-football men or religious conservatives, it makes a good and fundamental source of information for readers who wish to consider themselves to be educated. This book lies in the new "Inclusive History" movement, in which events are selected and portrayed to show multiple viewpoints. This approach contrasts quite sharply with the enormous bias shown in the selection and portrayal of events in the "Exclusive History" writings of the victors. Thus, for those who have not been fortunate enough to attend schools where "Inclusive History" textbooks are used, this material helps to correct biased representations and to fill vitally important gaps in a lifetime learner's knowledge of The Human Experience.
