Hey, everybody. I've had a desire to learn world history. Growing up I didn't care about most stuff in school, and that was a long time ago. Within the last few years ago I've been growing more and more interested in world history. I don't know much at all. I know a little bit of time periods that I love such as the 1950s-early '60s, for example, because of the music and the style, but I have so much I want to learn about this world and it's history. A few days ago I finished watching Eugen Weber's The Western Tradition, which I enjoyed and became a fan of Weber, but in under a half hour I'm not gonna learn that much, and it's just about the west. Also, I don't know anything about civics, politics, etc., so that left me lost with a lot of things.

My original plan was to learn different subjects like geograpy, geology, math, etc. to help me understand things before getting into world history because I don't know much about them either, but I'd actually prefer to learn history first to help me understand these things and maybe learn other subjects as I go along. My main goal, right now anyway, is to familiarize myself with the beginning of the world (of course a lot, if not all of it, is theoretical such as the big bang) to before the fall of mankind (MySpace). The first time I ever wanted to know about history is when I was reading an architecture book and I had zero clue about the time periods it discussed in it. I want to be familiar with styles, architecture, cultures, what's a colony, emperors and, politics, etc. You name it. I know a history book won't cover every topic ever though.

I've read a lot of praises for J.M. Roberts' History Of The World book, but also read it's more focused on the west. I also read that Clove Ponting's World History: A New Perspective is more focused on the east, but as someone who's basically new, would one or the other be enough? Would one still teach the well known historical figures? I plan on diving deeper in history I'm most interested in later on. Would these or another book you'd recommend help me learn geography through pictures and illustrations?

I've read other threads from the past on reddit, and I'm still not sure what to choose and everybody's path, including mine, is different.

I would appreciate any help.

It's not just at Whole Foods. How did floral not only become a sub-team of produce, but produce team members have to become flower wrappers? Every team has to deal with stuff they may not like, but produce seems to have the oddest non-produce work.

There's a domain I want that I searched for on instantdomainsearch, and it says it's available there, but I clicked on it and it lead me to a GoDaddy page that says "This domain is registered, but may still be available.

Get this domain"

I checked on other registrars including Namecheap, and GoDaddy's domain search, and all say it's available at regular price.

Should I go ahead and buy it or is there other steps I should take such as e-mailing a registrar? Should I put it in my cart just in case while I wait for a response?

Edit: I just put it in my cart. Don't see why not.

When I was in high school a long time ago my history teacher for whatever reason brought up a trademark lawsuit. If memory serves me correct, if at all, he said someone registered Bell Atlantic's logo (or name?) and sued them over it, got $20,000 (or if not that, 2 something - $200,000, $2M) then got offered a job with them.

There's no info online about this. Does this ring a bell, no pun intended, for ANY lawsuit?
