The Times History of the World
"The history of the world is replete with conflict, change, revolution and innovation. Yet, there are points in history at which we can draw close parallels between our past and present. Our history shapes the way we live today, even as we might strive to break away from the bounds of the past." "With a narrative scope beginning with human origins around 5 million years ago, and ending with global communications and the economy and environment in the modern age, The Times History of the World is a superb accomplishment. The body of the text is a chronological sweep across the history of the world, split geographically and thematically." "In addition, historian Richard Overy gives us his opinions in an exclusive extended article which enables him to freely explore the lessons the world has learnt from history, as well as the ways in which the world is constantly changing. He shows how the world has in a sense, become smaller, as communications and technology become more and more prevalent, but how wars and conflicts, poverty and religion, can still drive us apart. Concluding with thoughts on what will be the dominant factors driving the world in the future, Richard Overy gives us a rare opportunity to consider world history in one magnificent sweep."--BOOK JACKET.
