This new 300-page installment covers the rise of Arabia and the role of &#8220;Orientals&#8221; in crafting the culture we have today. In Gonick&#8217;s hands history is a hoot, and very much about ideas. I particularly savor this latest volume because by moving the center of the universe somewhere east of  Europe &#8212; delving into Islam, Africa and East Asia &#8212;  Gonick&#8217;s cartoons can remedy the ignorance and arrogance of the west.
