Civilization by Niall Ferguson

Niall Ferguson's last audiobook, The Ascent of Money, was such a smash hit that we're expecting good things of his new one.  Civilization: The West and the Rest is out this week and should be a great listen for history buffs.  From the New York Times review:

"What keeps the reader pushing on through “Civilization” is the author’s knack for making long-ago events as vivid and visceral as the evening news, for weaving anecdotes and small telling details together with a wide-angled retrospective vision. "
