      You kinda missed the point of the post. Nothing they said implied that the history books didn’t contain monstrosities, just that the books didn’t prepare them for living life while monstrosities occur.

      Honestly the post should say ‘history classes’. Classes tend to cover a broad scope as do the textbooks they assign. I certainly have read larger picture nonfiction work, but I think it’s more common for books to cover more specific periods of time.
