Just started reading a book that seems appropriate to mention here. From Dawn to Decadence: 500 Years of Cultural Life, 1500 to the Present by Jacques Barzun is much more than a dry recitation of events of the last 500 years. Barzun is a master historian but he is rare in that he thinks artists have contributed just as much as scientists and statesmen. I look forward to some enjoyable hours with pipe and easy chair with this one. Check it out.
