A History of the World in 100 Objects
A History of the World, now in your hands. Tying in with the popular programme on BBC Radio 4 and selected as a Book of the Year by over a dozen publications in 2010, the phenomenal bestselling A History of the World in 100 Objects is now available in a new look. Smaller and more affordable, but still with all the full colour illustrations of the original edition, this is a history of the world told through 100 things we have either admired and preserved, or used, broken and thrown away. It will take you on a journey back in time and across the globe, to see how we humans have shaped the world, and been shaped by it, over the past two million years.

A History of the World in 100 Objects
This book takes a dramatically original approach to the history of humanity, using objects which previous civilisations have left behind them, often accidentally, as prisms through which we can explore past worlds and the lives of the men and women who lived in them. Buy the book
