Description
Do you want a short, readable, informative overview of the entire history of the world? Then read on.
Quick Histories: Whole Histories You Can Read in An Hour Or Two
Yes, Quick Histories has done it! A history of the world you can read in a couple of hours. Using a chronological order so you can always keep track of dates, you can follow the histories of particular cultures whilst comparing them to what was going on elsewhere in the world at the same time. This book covers the familiar - and the very unfamiliar. The whole of history you can read on a plane or train journey!
In A Quick History of the World, you will learn about:
- Prehistory, which occupies most of human history, almost all of it, in fact. But what does that word "prehistory" even mean? Find out inside.
- Ancient History - not just the familiar - Rome, Greece, Egypt - but the less familar - learn about the Ancient Americas, among many other places
- Medieval History - when Europe languished in its Dark Ages, Islam, China, India and Africa were in the middle of great golden ages
- Modern History - and how all of this led to the world we live in today
