Spellbounding
One of the best, if not the best books I have read until now. Taught me so much on evolution, it is entertaining and educative at the same time. The reasoning and the depth given to each detail is very good. Evolution, roots of agriculture, writing, technology development is exceptionally told. Explained very lucidly this book is a must for every person interested in History, Science, and Geography.
Thank you for writing this book.
