Just finished reading a best selling history book, ‘Sapiens’, which you can read about here ,h tp://www.randomhouse.co.uk/editions/sapiens-a-brief-history-of-humankind/9781846558238″
“The best thing about it was that it actually made me think.” – The only review you really need comes from a reader on Goodreads.
You don’t have to have enjoyed history in the past to find this a satisfying, entertaining method of whiling away a few of your hours on this earth. You may be surprised, you may even be shocked by some of the perspectives the author brings to what you thought you knew. It may even provoke you to change your mind about important issues. So yes I can claim with some minor authority, ‘This book may just change your life.’
Like Dickens, this is an author who wants the reader to engage thoroughly in his description of what it means to be human, he wants us to consider the experience.
So in an attempt to encourage you to pick this volume up, I am thoroughly advising to do so. Buy it for your sons and daughters, your nieces and nephews, and any reader you would spend the price of a hardcover on.
Additionally, there is an amazing resource available which is free!!! You can join an online course here https://www.coursera.org/course/humankind?utm_source=blog or read about the course http://blog.coursera.org/page/2
Thank you, I’ve just ordered myself a copy! It looks really interesting.
Hope all is well with you, Anne. 🙂

Hi Anne – lovely to hear from you!! I hope you find the book as interesting as I did – let me know!! We are great here, just missing the youngest son as he has left me with that empty nest feeling! Glad he’s stretching his wings though, he was ready to! What are you up to?
