N2  - "Starting with the Enlightenment, Europeans developed big ideas that have increased opportunities for people around the world and raised standards of living. But those same ideas have also produced wars, genocide, colonialism, and the potential for global environmental disaster. In a natural, funny and engaging style, Imhoof guides us through the good, the bad and the indifferent of modern European history"--
