Nominated for the Audiobook Download of the Year, 2008.Many of us were put off history by the dreary way it was taught at school. Back then "The Origins of the Industrial Revolution" somehow seemed less compelling than the chance to test the bold claim on Timothy Johnson's "Shatterproof" ruler.But here at last is a chance to have a good laugh and learn all that stuff you feel you really ought to know by now. Learn how Anglo-Saxon liberals struggled to be positive about immigration. Discover how England's peculiar class system was established by some snobby French nobles whose posh descendents still have wine cellars. And explore the complex reasons why Britain's kings were the first in Europe to be brought to heel (because the Stuarts were such a useless bunch of untalented, incompetent, arrogant, upper-class thickoes that Parliament didn't have much choice.)
