Actually, you might try and find "The Earth Book of Stormgate" instead,
or
in addition to; I liked it more, it's more an overview of humanity from
the
perspective of the Ythri, rather than a short novel.  If I'm remembering
the books right, this is after flipping through 'em real quick... it's
been
a couple years since I read them.  Overall, I like Mike Resnick's
"Birthright: The Book of Man" better as far as a galactic history goes,
though I could do with a re-read of Anderson's books.... ^_^
