Despite his stature and many people I respect praising him, I've only
read a tiny amount of Barzun and the length of that book kind of put
me off. I'll have to give it another try. My excuse is the usual one:
so much else to read. :)

Maybe you'd be interested in large scale systems historians like
William H. McNeill, especially his _The Rise of the West_ and _Plagues
and Peoples_.
