Useful as a preparatory excursion before the reading of the author's much fuller and more explicit Outline of history is undertaken ... It is not an abstract or condensation of that former work."--Preface N2 - "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"--Publisher website (August 2007) ER -
