Book excerpt: Under One Sun is a quick guide to a very broad field. Its guiding goal is to enable anyone to acquire a solid understanding of any historical topic in just a few minutes. While other history books (and even Wikipedia) require a high level of background knowledge, a good deal of time, and, especially to the uninitiated, a lot of confusion, Under One Sun assumes no expertise and no time to waste. Divided into crisp, intuitive sections based on time and place, you can read straight through from the Fertile Crescent to Silicon Valley, or jump in and around according to your own interests. The world is a big and confusing place, and in the past it was stranger still. But with this book as your guide, hopefully it will not take too long to get your bearings.
