Good bathroom read...

I've been pleasantly surprised by the flow of the articles in this book. They provide a great synopsis and starting point for further research when my interest has been perked. The main complaint I have is what I see as a bit of bias for certain subjects in the articles from the 20th century on. The one that stood out the strongest was the article on the atomic bombs. It included the numbers of dead in Japan caused by the bombs but didn't include the number of lives from Japan and America saved by using the bombs. But as long as someone will remember that a person with an opinion wrote the articles and do follow-up research, it's not a bad read.
