Official synopsis Publisher
The Micropedia outlines the origins of the world’s peoples, their politics and power struggles, wars, conquests and peacemaking explorations and empires, trade and industry, science and technology, societies and cultures, religions, myths, art and creativity. None of this, however, has to do with a dead past or with happenings and attitudes which have no relevance today. Today is the heir of the past and the past is full of lessons, some of which have been learned and some not. There are, though, substantial similarities between now and then. (There are many color photos included in the volume.)
