thanks Mura-- that makes it so much easier. Yes do read Michener if you can find his books. He was a great american writer and wrote about many countries. The beginnings can be slow going but well worth while. He did a terrific amount of research and there is so much history.

Here in UK Centennial was an ongoing series for a very long time. THE SOURCE was the first I read-- it is very long but so worthwhile-- the kind of book that makes others seem really feeble.
