“A masterful title that weaves together social, scientific, anthropological, and geographical influences on world history, this set will be the benchmark against which future history encyclopedias are compared… [and] belongs on the shelves of all high-school, public, and academic libraries...” from the Booklist *Starred Review* of the first edition

“No one except David Christian could do it. He has a unique talent for mastering data, processing it efficiently, and writing it up lucidly. He can simplify without dumbing down and can be provocative without sliding into outrage. Readers can rely on him for a sensitive, well-informed, well-judged, reflective, and miraculously concise overview.”

Felipe Fernández-Armesto, professor of modern history, Tufts University
