A History of the World in 100 Objects by Neil MacGregor

5.0

A wonderful, wide-ranging and highly educational reading experience. Here are combined an encyclopaedic knowledge with a eclectic gathering of experts whose opinions he seeks and quotes.
The discipline of historical investigation (supplemented by technology) provides a base for flights of ideas.
That was always meant to be the purpose for the objects themselves were always but the launch pad for an all-embracing journey through time and space.
Loved it!
