| description | This is a new and different kind of history book. It focuses on 100 of the world's great events, stretching back to the beginnings of recorded history in the ancient world. They were all events that changed the world, although they changed it in very different ways, some dramatically and at once, some slowly and unpredictably. There were often surprises: history never quite repeated itself. Selecting the 100 events has been a fascinating challenge. Some events which figured on preliminary lists were displaced by others - though all keep their place on the broader canvas of the time charts at the end of the book. Another 100 great events could easily be collected. The span of time is long, and the spread of events in space is broad. Our concepts of time and space have changed, too, with the advent of railways and aeroplanes and clocks, cameras and computers. Many of the events we describe were known to very few people at the time. Now, through radio and television, knowledge of events can be instant across much of the globe. |
