## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb History Book.
*by B***R on 10 May 2025*

This book is excellent in its incredibly informative content and the way it is presented by this superb historian.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent coverage of the topics  and very well written
*by J***O on 17 March 2025*

This was a riveting read, I really enjoyed his style of writing and his knowledge of the topics covered.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Civilisation half told
*by E***T on 21 May 2024*

I’m only 250 pages (start Chapter 9 of 860 pages plus stuff, kindle) into this interesting read about the different ways humans have collected over thousands of years. I got it as a desire I had to get away from the intervention story. Lost civilisations in the ice-age teaching humans after the great flood.But the author dismisses this story out-of-hand. Serpent Mound is just a series of mounds no mention of it clearly being serpent shaped and the Pyramids were made over a 30 year period by 10000 slaves. No waste, no trace of that kind of human activity, no mention of the high-mathematics and design necessary to even contemplate such a project. And why does that level of engineering skill not exist elsewhere around it?He is honest enough to keep saying the difficulties in drawing conclusions as to why a city state may have collapsed. But this Holocene period we now live in was Made for the thinker. After the comet strike, which created a dark cold world for the Younger Dryas period, the planet was enriched by volcanic action and up to now some 12000 years of relative stability.He also dismisses any ‘missing link’ between Neanderthal and homo sapiens. He states that brains grew due to eating more types of food and learning to cook with heat. I don’t know if there is archaeological evidence for skull shapes in-between Neanderthal and homo sapien.The danger is in making up stories. Connecting dots which may or may not be connected. Before my journey into the possibility of intervention I have usually thought of the Universe and Earth as part of a completely random set of events. The ‘Life is a hick-up’ perspective.I actually find my hick-up analysis the most useful as it makes me responsible for Everything. I think, you think. We think. Therefore the planet has grown is own gardener. Anything that moves away from our own responsibilities is flawed. Stories are for children.HARDBACK: Immersed in the text so much I ordered the on-offer hardback version if only for the colour photos but mostly to ensure I always have a copy of this enlightening book. But its on-offer for a reason. The book arrives unsealed and loose in its cardboard envelope top to bottom although apart from slight indents top of spine in excellent new condition. But the main reason is Footnotes. Footnotes are numbered the same as Kindle but do not exist in book.Above the Image Credits at back of book the author notes: ‘The endnotes for this book are extremely extensive and run to more than 200 pages. To spare the reader the extra weight of carrying these around I decided to post all the notes’...then website given.I am fairly certain that the much longer page numbers for Kindle is entirely due to number of words on a page. 860 Kindle v 658 Hardback for text body.Just finished reading this important book. Important as it is I stand by my four star assessment. He is scientific and his evidence is about science. For me ‘education’ is a problem. There is no room in the text for being. Yes, indigenous peoples are analysed but not sought. The idea of ‘perfection’ studied but not sought. Being not having is too simplistic I agree. High-fallutin notions of wisdom equally off-side. But Students are ruining this Earth. Nobody seems to be doing the actual living. Those that do the actual living have zero influence/power. It could be the answer to all the planet’s problems lie in not having a plastic existence. [that line cost me a milkshake]
