description: A great historian can make clear the connections between the first Homo sapiens and today's version of the species and a great storyteller can make those connections come alive. David Christian is both. This Fleeting A Short History of Humanity makes the journey a fascinating one. Christian takes us from the Big Bang to the earliest foraging era to the present Anthropocene epoch. This popular work now in its fifth printing has been reorganized to help the student and expanded to include material on big history. Enter This Fleeting World - and give up the preconception that anything old is boring. A compact easy-to-read overview of world history ideal for curriculum development classroom preparation and student review.
