The History of Man (Sort Of): from Adam to Atom

"THE HISTORY OF MAN - sort of," is an outstanding example of creative writing. It is a collection of biographies of eight of the most important men in history told in the most innovative and humorous style, but still maintaining historical integrity-sort of. The humor is occasionally subtle and frequently outrageous, the characters are taken from all walks of life, from religion to adventure, science, politics and military. It begins with the creation of man, and eventually gets into Adam and Eve's relationship with each other and God. Next, Abraham loves and worships his God - until God explains the meaning and technique of circumcision, but it all turns out in the end. Moses, with God's help and advice allows the Hebrews to escape from slavery in Egypt. Jesus is born to Mary with the assistance of local workers and grows up to be the world's greatest magician with the help of his Dad. Christopher Columbus is intent on finding a Westward Cruise to the Indies, but his poor sense of direction causes serious problems. George Washington and Abe Lincoln become great leaders of the new country, although coming from vastly different origins and paths to the White House. Lastly, Albert Einstein revolutionizes science, but can't figure out his bank statements or income tax. In brief, it's a fun book, and everyone who reads it will love it.
