This is a book dominated not by dates and facts, but by the sweep of mankind's experience across the centuries. It is both a guide to humanity's achievements and an acute witness to its frailties. The product of a generous and humane sensibility, this is a timeless account of our shared history. Little Histories – Inspiring Guides for Curious Minds
