A Short History Of Everybody For The Last 13,000 Years

This book answers the most obvious, the most important, yet the most difficult, question about human history: why history unfolded so differently on different continents. Geography and biogeography, not race, moulded the contrasting fates of Europeans, Asians, Native Americans, sub-Saharan Africans, and Aboriginal Australians.

A book of remarkable scope, this is one of the most important and readable works on the human past published in recent years.

RRP: $29.95
