If you are interested in history, specifically the Renaissance and its origins, this book might be a great read for you. Through significant research, Menzies provides compelling evidence that challenges the traditional, Western-centric view on the Renaissance. His argument is centered on the idea that it was, in fact, a sophisticated delegation from China that arrived in Tuscany in 1434 wielding knowledge of math, printing, genetics, and much more that sparked the revolution. If you want to learn about the origins of Western civilization and how the meeting of two great cultures shaped the modern world as we know it, this book could be an excellent pick.
