    i read once that these volumes were a must in your library and i agree entirely. Will Durant to me is some sort of genius who is preaching to us the truth about our ancestors and past civilizations. this book is highly recommended but i advise to take your time and not be overwhelmed as the writing includes lots of information in every single page you read. all i can say is, i wish i could thank this man for this genuinely artistic form of being able to explain something so difficult and diverse to mankind.
