Civilization & Culture Editorial Review

Niall Ferguson’s book, Civilization: The West and the Rest, provides a thought-provoking perspective on the importance of intelligence and reason in moving forward as a society. It offers easy and engaging reading on the history of ideas, helping readers understand where we are now and why. Although some might not accept the premise, Ferguson argues that the truth is the truth, despite postmodernist revisionism. While the book is interesting and offers quick reasons on why the West has been successful for 500 years, some might find the author's views on Christianity and global warming problematic. Nevertheless, the work is well-written, chock full of interesting facts, and a valuable perspective on history.
