Description

This exploration of the past provides an account of the main developments of world history from prehistoric times to the present day. The book's main part consists of more than a hundred articles and features, divided into six periods - the ancient world; other worlds; the medieval world; broadening horizons; revolution, industry and empire; and the modern world. Each article is self-contained, but "see also" panels enable the reader to follow themes of special interest. Topics of particular importance are highlighted in boxed features, and there is a 72-page A-Z "fact-finder" at the end. - from Amzon
