Description
This book takes the reader through time, showing the reality of what it was like to live in the past. It investigates the whole period of human existence, from prehistoric times to life in the modern world. In its pages you can discover how humans populated the world, how organized farming started, and how food was first grown and harvested so that communities were formed. Learn how developments in science and medicine increased our lifespan, and improved the quality and effectiveness of our lives over the centuries. The development of human civilization is explained in a lively and accessible visual style, using artworks, pictures and diagrams to show how great cities were built and destroyed, wars were lost and won, new religions were born, and advances in science and exploration transformed everyday life and the living environment.
