A New Outline of World History

From the Origins to the Eighteenth Century

About this book

First published in 1962, A New Outline of World History is a contemporary and objective introduction to the essentials of world history from the origins to the eighteenth century. It is closely related to geography and climate, people and places live in vivid detail in the narrative, and the author holds that 'history, at least vicariously, should be enjoyed'. The book is written for the wide public interested in world affairs and designed to help travellers and television viewers to get more out of what they see. The text is supported by a collection of unusual and generally beautiful illustrations. This is a must read for students of world history.
