Another great volume!

I started Will Durant's history of civilization book series with The Age of Faith and this is my second volume and I really enjoyed every minute of it! I wished there was more content (yeah 50 hours is not enough for me). if you are a fan of history then this is a must have! my favorite part is Copernicus on his deathbed reading the title of his newly published book an hour before passing away.
