Description
As we enter the third millennium, it's time to look back on 2,000 years of human achievement. What have we achieved? How have we changed? And how have the great events and inventions of history changed us?
Norris McWhirter, creator of The Guinness Book of Records, and the world's acknowledged expert on records of every kind, is the ideal person to answer these questions. He has spent forty years researching the material in this remarkable book, tracing human progress from the wheel to deep space probes, from hunter-gathering to microwave meals.
This sumptuous volume, packed full of fascinating snippets, specially created tables and facts and figures - many of them never before published - brings world history to life. An easy- to-use topic-by-topic structure covers every conceivable subject, from daily life to hi-tech electronics.
