Histories you can trust. Imagine the planet, as if from an immense
distance of time and space, as a galactic observer might see
it—with the kind of objectivity that we, who are enmeshed in our
history, can´t attain. The Oxford History of the World encompasses
the whole span of human history. It brings together some of the
world's leading historians, under the expert guidance of Felipe
Fernandez-Armesto, to tell the 200,000-year story of our world,
from the emergence of homo sapiens through to the twenty-first
century: the environmental convulsions; the interplay of ideas
(good and bad); the cultural phases and exchanges; the collisions
and collaborations in politics; the successions of states and
empires; the unlocking of energy; the evolutions of economies; the
contacts, conflicts, and contagions that have all contributed to
making the world we now inhabit.
