Description

This lavishly illustrated visual encyclopedia tells the story of our world from the dawn of civilization to the present day. Charting human endeavour from every angle, History chronicles the significant events, ground-breaking ideas, political forces, and technological advances that have shaped our planet. Every historical episode is explored with the help of stunning images that bring the authoritative text to life. Important moments in history—such as the Battle of Hastings, the storming of the Bastille, D-Day, and 9/11—are covered clearly and concisely, with profiles of influential figures like Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, and Nelson Mandela. Supporting panels note the causes and consequences, providing wider context. New and enhanced coverage of recent events—such as the Arab Spring—and contemporary issues such as climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic bring the book into the present. With its broad-themed approach to important historical events, History shows that ours is the history of humankind in which everyone has a part to play.
