Whether you are looking for something to help you out on your homework assignment, or a budding anthropologist, or just have a curious streak and think people really are strange creatures... you should be reading this book.
It covers humanity from the smallest scale of our anatomy and physiology, right up to societal scales, introducing us to many peoples, cultures and ways of living. But that's not all by any means... with chapters like Origins, Body, Mind, Life Cycle, Society, Culture, Peoples and Future, there is every knowable aspect of humanity covered in amazing detail and volume.
There is no way to cram all of human knowledge into a single book, but if you could build a library that encompassed a decent smattering of the primary knowledgebase, this book would certinly rank amongst them. Add to all of that a 24-page index and glossary to help you locate what you are seeking.
Overall, well, it's hard to sum it up between 10-50 words... tjhe simple version is this: You should read this, no matter what. The long version... is just too long.

Five little ducks went off to school,
over the splishy-splashy pool,
and the one little duck with a schoolbag on her back,
she led the others with a QUACK, QUACK, QUACK!
It's back to school with a QUACK, QUACK, QUACK! An adorable new picture book and sing-along CD for the back to school season. Five little ducks need to get to class - but oops, what have they each forgotten?
Children can sing along ... more...
