I got this book steeply discounted from another online seller -- and that's the way to go if you want to read it. Bingham provides a very basic introduction to a vast amount of knowledge; the book isn't that thick (mine is about 145 pages of actual text), the text is rather large, and it's full of color photographs.

After purchasing and reading the book, I would never consider buying it for what Amazon is offering as its new price (as of 10/20/08, $32). But it is an interesting book, and probably useful for a brief foray into conquest, and the beginnings of globalization. I think I got it from Labyrinth Books for something like $5 or $10, which is a good deal.
