Paragonati agli imperi scintillanti di Bisanzio o dell'Islam, i regni frammentati affacciati sull'Atlantico sembravano poveri, impauriti e poco sviluppati.

Unlike most health books, Lite’n Up! doesn’t associate good health with being thin. Tom Iselin points out you can be slightly overweight and still be healthy.

And here’s the twist—Lite’n Up! doesn’t require special food, expensive counseling, or eating like a monk. You can still enjoy cheesecake, candy bars, French fries, and vacations. (Yes, even chocolate doughnuts—Tom’s own admitted weakness.)

For five centuries we have told ourselves a flattering story: that the peoples who lived along the Great Lakes and across the Canadian Shield were simple, and that the newcomers who arrived by ship were advanced. This book takes that story apart, gently and completely. Every society that has ever lasted had to solve the same short list of problems. It had to feed its people, keep them warm, bring them clean water, move them across distance, remember its laws, defend its homes, settle its quarrels, and teach its children who they were.
