No-Nonsense Guide to World History, 3rd edition

About this book

Who was the first black queen? How much do you know about China's history? Most people's knowledge of world history is hazy and incomplete at best. This updated No-Nonsense Guide gives a full picture, revealing the hidden histories and communities left out of conventional textbooks – from the civilizations of Africa, Asia and Latin America to the history of women. This updated and revised edition of one of the best-selling No-Nonsense Guides includes a new chapter from the perspective of the end of the first decade of the 21st century and includes material on the financial crisis and the world response to climate change.

A perfect read for someone who wants to embrace the whole of history, rather than disconnected dynasties and events–all in one slim volume.
