This fascinating book takes in the full sweep of human development and ingenuity over twelve millennia; Africa, for example, gave us the first monarch and algebra, great religions emerged from the Middle East, democracy was born in Europe and America made the first flying machines. More than just a string of dry lists, the colourful text''s intriguing insights and asides make it as enjoyable for the casual browser as the more serious researcher.
