Publisher Description
A concise survey of the culture and civilization of mankind, The Lessons of History is the result of a lifetime of research from Pulitzer Prize–winning historians Will and Ariel Durant.
The authors devoted five decades to the study of world history and philosophy, culminating in the masterful eleven-volume Story of Civilization. In this compact summation of their work, Will and Ariel Durant share the vital and profound lessons of our collective past. Their perspective, gained after a lifetime of thinking and writing about the history of humankind, is an invaluable resource for us today. The rare archival recordings of the Durants in conversation, made from 1957–1977, illuminate our present condition and offer insightful guidance for the future.
Customer Reviews
Disgusting, racist and biased
Disgusting mundane biased musings in the name of lessons of history. Author proclaims white race with blue eyes is responsible for all progress. Interracial mixing let to decline of countries. Just awful. Recording is poor and more like an interview than reading a book. Buy it you want to learn wrong lessons of history or to learn how crazy people think.
