Description
"In each of the 50 timelines, four fundamental categories of human endeavour -- Politics & Economy, Science & Technology, Religion & Philosophy and Art & Architecture -- pinpoint the most significant moments of political upheaval, artistic revolution and technological innovation as they happened simultaneously across vast distances. Concise and thought-provoking essays precede each timeline. A diverse selection of art representing the breadth of human creativity punctuates the timelines, while eight maps act as snapshots of our world undergoing great changes, from the melting of ice caps to the fall of empires." -- Cover.
