Query: certainly not "Lords of All the World"

after reading Pagden's "Lords of All the World" this book sounded like a good idea. but after reading this book, it seems strange that the same person could have written them both. where the former was articulate and interesting, this book goes through a narrative that blends myth, history, and politics and ends up not doing justice to the blend or the parts. i read this book in a reading group along with several others- most of who had read "Lords...", and no one found much to like about it. if your goal is to compress european imperialism into a very short form, perhaps for an undergraduate or high school course, then it might work for you, so long as you make sure to comment on the strange discrepancies Pagden gives rise to. if you're looking to increase your understanding of the subject, however, read something else.
