The Mongol army led by Genghis Khan subjugated more lands and people in 25 years than the Romans did in 400. In nearly every country the Mongols conquered, they brought an unprecedented rise in cultural communication, expanded trade, and a blossoming of civilization.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 7,823
Look beyond the abstract dates and figures, kings and queens, and battles and wars that make up so many historical accounts. Over the course of 48 richly detailed lectures, Professor Garland covers the breadth and depth of human history from the perspective of the so-called ordinary people, from its earliest beginnings through the Middle Ages.

This is a tale of sorrow, a tale of survival, a tale of one man's search for meaning in his universe, and how that search, and the indomitable will that drove it, gave birth to a legend.

Great - refreshing read

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes
Any additional comments?
This is the first book of this genre that I have listened to, and I was a little skeptical going-in. But happily, it was intriguing, quite riveting flowed nicely and the narration was great. Definitely recommend.

The rise to global predominance of Western civilization is the single most important historical phenomenon of the past five hundred years. All over the world, an astonishing proportion of people now work for Western-style companies, study at Western-style universities, vote for Western-style governments, take Western medicines, wear Western clothes, and even work Western hours. Yet six hundred years ago the petty kingdoms of Western Europe seemed unlikely to achieve much more than perpetual internecine warfare. It was Ming China or Ottoman Turkey that had the look of world civilizations.

The way history should be taught
Revisado: 07-30-12
Would you consider the audio edition of Civilization to be better than the print version?
It's a long book, and I preferred listening to the facts and story VS reading.
What did you like best about this story?
Brought histroy to life...going back a long long way! I wish history had been taught this way, with key themes, when I was a kid and beyond. Most interesting!
Any additional comments?
The book touches on our modern thinking...computer "apps" and brings historical context into todays world. I have a far richer appreciation for what is happening around the world and some of the possible compelling reaons, after listening to this book. Would not usually lisen to a book like this, but glad I did.

Born in the United States, but reared in Mexico, Harrison Shepherd finds precarious shelter but no sense of home on his thrilling odyssey. Life is whatever he learns from housekeepers and, one fateful day, by mixing plaster for famed muralist Diego Rivera. When he goes to work for Rivera, his wife, exotic artist Kahlo, and exiled leader Lev Trotsky, Shepherd inadvertently casts his lot with art and revolution.

Huge disappointment
Revisado: 07-30-12
Would you try another book from Barbara Kingsolver and/or Barbara Kingsolver?
I love Barbara Kingsolver's writing...a huge fan! But this story is just too slow and might be better if it were narrated by someone else.
If you’ve listened to books by Barbara Kingsolver before, how does this one compare?
This one does not compare to her usual writing...not by a long shot.
Any additional comments?
I can't bring myself to finish it...I've tried hard.
