Finally have the book, "How the Scots Invented the Modern World."

[Bugbear]

I finally have Arthur Herman's book, How the Scots Invented the Modern World. I'm part way through it. Very interesting.

[Coinneach]

I have it on my shelf. One of about 20 books-to-read. What's been the most interesting so far?

[Bugbear]

Historical patterns.

[g koch]

I enjoyed it.

Learned much.

[Wild Macrae]

Great book. Like most history books, it's a little boring in parts, but labor through those because the book as a whole is well worth it.

[Ozark Ridge Rider]

One of the best historical overviews I have read. He ties in a lot of history which makes sense of many events in American history.

[Bugbear]

Well... I'm about half way through, and nothing boring yet. It's a good overview too. I'm bookmarking a lot of things, so I'll have to comb through the bibliography when I'm done reading the book. I think I already have some of the works...

[Sionnach]

I enjoyed it very much, but my wife got tired of all the historical name dropping.

[HeathBar]

What I enjoyed about the book was the emphasis the Scots put on education. I think I need to re-read this book in the near future.

[Bugbear]

I have a few more chapters to read, and I will finnish that up this evening.
