A Less Boring History Of The World: From The Big Bang To Today

Refreshes the parts other history books can't reach...A bit ropy on the Renaissance? In the dark about the Enlightenment?

Good.

Each historical episode is boiled down to edible, bite size chunks so that you can finally piece together all the different bits of history - and see how on earth we ended up in the mess we are today.
Whipping through the chaotic journey of man, past ancient civilisations, the rise of empires, and the fall of bankers, A Less Boring History refreshes your memory and broadens your mind. And, if that's not enough, it will also make you laugh. A lot.
