I don't remember how I found the book, but I was lucky that the library had it. I'm just finishing Dr. Ian Tattersall's slim-but-rich volume, The World from Beginning to 4000 BCE, and like with many of the fiction authors I enjoy, I need to read more of his work. Again, I lucked out.
I also hope to read more from the series that Dr. Tattersall's book is a part of: The New Oxford World History. I hope the other writers have writing styles as readable as Dr. Tattersall's.
