About This Book
Why do the British drive on the left while most of Europe drives on the right? Why was Venice built on man-made islands in a lagoon? Why do Jews, Christians and Muslims all consider Jerusalem a holy city? This book takes ordinary features of the world as it is now and traces them back to the political, social, religious and cultural history that shaped them, turning everyday questions into a route into how the modern world actually came to be.
