Has anyone read the 11-volume The Story of Civilization by Will and Ariel Durant? Does it provide a good, basic overview of world history? If not, what would you recommend in its stead?
UNIFORM LA CHILLICOTHE WORK JACKET Drop, going on right now.
Uniform LA's Chillicothe Work Jacket is an elevated take on the classic Detroit Work Jacket. Made of ultra-premium 14-ounce Japanese canvas, it has been meticulously washed and hand distressed to replicate vintage workwear that’s been worn for years, and available in three colors.
This just dropped today. If you missed out on the preorder, there are some sizes left, but they won't be around for long. Check out the remaining stock here
Good luck!.

Many years ago I sat in on several of the late Eugen Weber's overview lectures at USC.
Professor Weber was a UCLA professor and dean; when did he teach at USC?
The Durants' series is certainly thorough, but I didn't like the format of it: here's the section about Greek history, here's the section about Greek art, here's the section about their Greek architecture, etc...
