In his monumental History of the World, J. M. Roberts delivered a powerful vision of human history as a story of change, a deliberate shaping of experience and environment. This revised and updated edition takes into account the great range of events and discoveries that have altered our views on everything from early civilizations to post-Cold War globalism. The mapping has been brought up to date and large portions of text rewritten. Roberts's view of history is exceptional in its global and comprehensive nature, showing the development of different civilizations through the ages, from our origins on the African savannah to the modern world in the wake of the 2001 terrorist attacks. Like no other book, it succeeds in conveying the staggering diversity of the human experience.
