Material World: A Global Family Portrait by Paul Kennedy, Peter Menzel, Charles C. Mann

4.0

I first came across this book as a sixth grader (maybe) in my middle school's library c. 1999. It stuck with me. Reading it all these years later is a completely different experience as now it's not only a commentary on the way people live all around the world but it also serves as a sort of global time capsule. So much has changed since the book was published in '94 and it is fascinating to behold.
