reviewed Americans and Europeans Dancing in the Dark: On Our Differences and Affinities, Our Interests, and Our Habits of Life on August 17, 2012
Americans and Europeans Dancing in the Dark
Very interesting. The world today is very much a consequence of the 18th century. The book was a bit dry at times. Also, it often referred to works of art or literature, or certain influential people without explaining who or what they were, which can be a bit confusing if you're not already familiar with them.
