Personal anecdotes

many moons ago at carnegie mellon university i had peter stearns as a professor and he was my advisor for my honors thesis. i learned a lot from him and probably owe him gratitude 1000 times over. if you are lucky enough to be able to take a class from him, do not hesitate.

I've been listening to A Brief History of the World and have really enjoyed it. Gave me an appreciation of history that was fairly narrow and western centric before. I've been reading further into topics he covered and have really learned a lot.
