Summary:
Of the more than one hundred books that H. G. Wells published in his
lifetime, this is one of the most ambitious. Spanning the origins of
the Earth to the outcome of World War I, A Short History of the World
is an engrossing account of the evolution of life and the development
of the human race. Wells brings his monumental learning and
penetrating historical insight to bear on the Neolithic era, the rise
of Judaism, the Golden Age of Athens, the life of Christ, the rise of
Islam, the discovery of America, the Industrial Revolution, and a
host of other subjects. Breathtaking in scope, this thought-provoking
masterwork remains one of the most readable and rewarding of its
kind.
