excellent boost for cultural literacy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
We'll be using this in our homeschooling this year. The book covers foundational philosophy, figures, writings for a wide range of cultures; not just western, but Asian and Sub-Saharan as well. It should help fill in the gaps in my own cultural literacy.
Still in print

This isn't really a review. I am the editor of this volume. The third edition is still in print and listed here as "Reading About the World (Vol. 1)."
