A Short History of the World

Christopher Lascelles, MA 1994

A Short History of the World relates the history of our world from the Big Bang to the present day. Its aim is to give a broad overview of the main events so that non-historians will feel less embarrassed about their lack of historical knowledge when discussing the past.

The book is easy to read and assumes no prior knowledge of past events. 32 maps have been especially drawn to accompany the text in order to give the reader a better understanding of where events occurred. The result is a book that is reassuringly epic in scope but refreshingly short in length – an excellent place to start to bring your knowledge of world history up to scratch.
