About this listen

Criss-crossing the globe from the prehistoric era to the modern day, Professor Jeremy Black takes you on a whirlwind tour of our past, leaving no stone unturned as he brings to life the fascinating history of civilisation.

Mankind has accomplished remarkable feats - building great cities, creating beautiful art forms and developing new modes of communication. At the same time, warfare discrimination and poverty reveal the darker side of human nature. This incredible volume covers all of the above, from the birth of agriculture to the two world wars, delving into the vast range of human experience over the millennia.

A History of the World forms an essential reference guide for modern-day amateur historians, providing a perfect foothold into this sprawling history.

Interesting look back at the history of the world

The goal of the book is the make you think, and it definitely accomplishes that. From the ice age to the ancient world, Jeremy Black shares provocative histories of empires, ancient civilizations, religious wars, agriculture, calendars, coins, and more. The author charts the reasons why the Roman empire thrived, and why it ultimately fell. The book examines what the ancients thought, science, art, and goods (such as sugar and coal) that changed the world.
