Great idea for a book, but remarkably bad scholarship - the bibliography includes the Encyclopedia Brittanica as the only source for a number of chapters. Plus, the author constantly uses modern references to describe past cultures. The result is a mish-mash of commentary that may be funny - I guess that's a personal reflection - but certainly isn't informative. I quit at page 49.
