The Book of Bamboo - David Farrelly

(Our neighbors are going to hate us.) To be frank, I thought it would be interesting too. And I am sure it is, if you can get past the frightening prose: “The quite recent idea of universal education, now shared worldwide, is occuring at a time of unprecedented global population growth.

But the pictures were pretty.
