Of the more than one hundred books that H. G. Wells published in
his lifetime, this is one of the most ambitious. Spanning the
origins of the Earth to the outcome of World War I, "A Short
History of the World" is an engrossing account of the evolution of
life and the development of the human race. Wells brings his
monumental learning and penetrating historical insight to bear on
the Neolithic era, the rise of Judaism, the Golden Age of Athens,
the life of Christ, the rise of Islam, the discovery of America,
the Industrial Revolution, and a host of other subjects.
Breathtaking in scope, this thought-provoking masterwork remains
one of the most readable and rewarding of its kind.
