A review by annkniggendorf
A History of the World in 100 Objects by Neil MacGregor

5.0

I Just finished [a:Neil MacGregor|518030|Neil MacGregor|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-M-50x66.jpg]'s [b:A History of the World in 100 Objects|9553383|A History of the World in 100 Objects|Neil MacGregor|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41FfuJKNG1L._SL75_.jpg|14439910], ranging from the 2 million years old stone chopping tool to a contemporary credit card and a solar lamp (with charger).
This is easily the most entertaining - and enlightening - book on global history out there (global in the true sense of the word; though Greenland and Antarctica are under-represented)! I highly recommend investing your time in it. :-)
