More about the book
'History of the World' shows how our common international history has evolved over thousands of years. Beginning with the evolution of the earth and the appearance of the first modern humans 40,000 years ago, the book charts the course of human history up to the present day. With equal treatment given to the five continents, this book is truly international in scope. Special attention has been paid to those parts of the world - notably South America and Oceania - whose history is often neglected. From this unique vantage point, 'History of the World' explores the common threads of history that link the world's peoples, and the contrasts.
