This is the history of the world, from the origins of the Cosmos to
the present day, seen through three major narratives: work, sex and
power - the forces that have done more than any other to shape the
world as we see it now. It expertly explores the foundations of our
developing society by showing how these grand themes have recurred
throughout the various phases of global history. From communities
of Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers, through feudalism and onto the
capitalistic machine-civilisation of recent centuries, Willie
Thompson takes us on a journey that is fundamentally opposed to
mainstream histories which concentrate on monarchs, politicians and
military commanders. At the centre of this book lies the
interaction between humans and their environment. By exploring
history in this way, it reveals a simple yet powerful materialist
understanding of how we got to where we are today, and opens a door
to a different reading of our world.
