"Following the record-breaking international success of Chronicle of the 20th Century comes this even more ambitious volume-Chrnoicle of the World. Never before has the human story-from the first tool-wielding hominids in Africa to explorers in the solar system-been told in such a vivid and immediate way. In these pages history becomes alive and accessible as the front page of your daily newspaper. The same team of British journalists who won such praise for their clear and colourful prose in Chronicle of the 20th Century have now written Chronicle of the World with the help of over 25 top scholars from Oxford, Cambridge, and other leading academic institutions. Complementing the words are over 3,000 photographs and maps, over half in full colour. All the famous and familiar news stories of history are here: the building of the pyramids, the stabbing of Julius Caesar, the death of Cleopatra, the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, the fall of the Roman Empire, the Spanish Armada, the French Revolution-all told as if witnessed by a reporter on the spot." "Tagset incomplete because this book covers literally everything known to man ever. If you can't find something elsewhere, search the index of this book."
