About this product

Product Information

The phenomenal history of humanity, now destined to be the ultimate reading experience in paperback This book takes a dramatically original approach to the history of humanity, using objects which previous civilisations have left behind them, often accidentally, as prisms through which we can explore past worlds and the lives of the men and women who lived in them. The book's range is enormous. It begins with one of the earliest surviving objects made by human hands, a chopping tool from the Olduvai gorge in Africa, and ends with an object from the 21st century which represents the world we live in today. Neil MacGregor's aim is not simply to describe these remarkable things, but to show us their significance - how a stone pillar tells us about a great Indian emperor preaching tolerance to his people, how Spanish pieces of eight tell us about the beginning of a global currency or how an early Victorian tea-set tells us about the impact of empire. Each chapter immerses the reader in a past civilisation accompanied by an exceptionally well-informed guide. Seen through this lens, history is a kaleidoscope - shifting, interconnected, constantly surprising, and shaping our world today in ways that most of us have never imagined. An intellectual and visual feast, it is one of the most engrossing and unusual history books published in years.

    Disappointed with the format and quality of print production which detracts from the original beauty of this publication

    I have the original hard back issue of this book. The original was of a larger format and the paper used in it was of a thicker and better quality. The colour plates were very well detailed. The quality of the original publication was excellent and because of this the reading experience was very enjoyable. By comparison this paperback version is very poor. So poor in fact that it detracts from the enjoyment and experience of reading. It is a standard paperback size. It is sad as I bought this for a gift for a friend but I do not feel able to give it such is the quality of printing materials and format used. In reading this paperback I suppose it would be comparable to watching a film produced for cinema on a mobile phone. The information has not changed but presentation is key. Books should be beautiful things to value.

    Good history book

    Heard this radio series which led me to the book. As a history lover, I really enjoy the range of objects and their descriptions, find it fascinating. Photos add to the interest of this book.
