But both Earthlings and Aliens will be well rewarded for reading Earth – A Visitors Guide because [speaking as a native earthling] it is one of the most fascinating and absorbing cultural histories I have read.
Although beautifully designed and visually appealing, the visual component is secondary to the factual information: as an arresting and intriguing overview of 21st century factoids and trivia, the book is unequalled in any Universe. ( )
