Well-written, clear and informed, they have a breezy wit about them...I find them hard to stop reading. -- Richard Bernstein * The New York Times *
Witty, illuminating, and blessedly concise. -- Jim Holt * The Wall Street Journal *
Each of these little books is witty and dramatic and creates a sense of time, place, and character...I cannot think of a better way to introduce oneself and one's friends to Western civilization. -- Katherine A. Powers * The Boston Globe *
A godsend in this era of the short attention span. -- Daryl Royster Alexander * The New York Times *
