Want to Read $ 10.99"Schoolkinderen worden snel groot (sneller dan wij volgens de krantenberichten), en ze moeten onze wereld gaan begrijpen. Lezen is een manier om de volgende generatie te helpen om te leren en te denken, maar net zo belangrijk is het om te blijven kijken naar het verleden. Ik hoop dat beide boeken mensen bij elkaar brengen. Het begrijpen van de geschiedenis is niet alleen interessant, het is bijzonder belangrijk."-Peter Frankopan, The New Silk Roads: The Present and Future of the World
