A History of the World in 100 Objects

Takes an original approach to the history of humanity, using objects which previous civilisations have left behind them, often accidentally, as prisms through which we can explore past worlds and the lives of the men and women who lived in them.

An awesome read!!
10 January 2012
What a fantastic book! Absorbing, engaging, encompassing. Short 4 page word bites present the history of the object and its relation to events in the world and the history of the time. And the photography is absolutely beautiful. I learned so much I didn't know from this book and have given it as a gift several times because it is a book that deserves to be loved and shared. A treasure trove of education and information that you can read in stages and enjoy forever. Buy it now!
