Seller Description
Here it is, The History of the World! First published in 1976, this book has been revised and/or reprinted at least nine times, this copy being the 1997 revision. It is a bold undertaking to attempt to corral the entire history of the entire world in one book, but this one manages to do it and manages to be entertaining while it is educating. This high-level overview avoids getting too far into the weeds on any particular period or civilization and thereby manages to cover the entire history of humanity from the time of early hominids to nuclear proliferation in only 1100 pages. Take a look. See what you can learn for only $3.00.
