Status Updates From The Cambridge World History...

This is most useful.

Rewinding to earliest modern human history. Looking at Africa only, for now.

Read about early Africa.

I have trouble reading history of history not because it is uninteresting, but it is too interesting. So many books are mentioned in a couple of paragraphs. It would be nice if chapter 2 was ten times longer. I need information about what was written in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

I am moving to chapter 3 for now.

I don’t know how I lost the update I made a minute. I am not happy with this stupid app. Wish Facebook would buy it and make it better.

I finished the introduction to the first half of the book. I think the money I paid for these volumes isn’t wasted. I am receiving an exceptional education.

Excellent chapter

Rewinding to the introduction, overview chapter. This chapter is a 20,000 feet view of 200,000 years.

The book also has historiographical chapters, in fact the first half of this volume is. I wanted to quickly read the real prehistory chapters before, but now I am coming back for a slow reading.

Another philosophical chapter is chapter 6. It will put me to sleep. Skip to 313. This is real history.

Chapter 5 might be interesting.

Chapter 4 next. I am not going to read historiography. I need narrative history. This is for my Timetables project.

Skipping to chapter 3. I will come back to chapter 2 for creating a reading list if necessary. I need much more detail than the chapter offered.

I am moving to the next chapter.

I have had this for a while now. The brevity of the work saddens me. I was hoping for extensive coverage but this is a set of articles, very much research report type. I am reading this, however, both for enlightenment and because I want to find justification for my purchase. Maybe I will come to like this oddly structured work.
