History of the World

From the Stone Age to today's high-tech world, this is history told as one long journey rather than a list of dates. Landmarks along the way include the ancient Egyptian Empire, Viking invasions, the US War of Independence and the first Moon landing, each placed on vibrant maps that sweep north, south, east and west to show what was happening where over time. The result is a breathtaking, bird's-eye view of how human culture has moved across the world.
