Title: History of the World
Description: Who were the first dwellers on Earth? What were the Dark Ages? What started the Russian revolution? What are the causes of the crisis in the Middle East? These and many other key questions are answered in History of the World, a year-by-year account of landmark events from the first humans to the present day. This book allows the reader to see the history of human advancement in a journey through time. They can see inside an Egyptian pyramid, imagine themselves on a Mediterranean trading ship, experience the life of a Roman soldier, and envisionlife in the war-time trenches. No event is approached in isolation, but as part of a broader picture that explains the reasons behind wider social and political struggles. History of the World also details the lives of the men and women who have made their mark – from religious leaders and politicians to inventors and scientists.
