No-No Guide to World History
By Chris Brazier

Most people's knowledge of world history is hazy and incomplete at best. We know bits and pieces without understanding how they fit together. This No-Nonsense Guide gives a full picture, revealing what's hidden by conventional textbooks - from the civilizations of Africa, Asia and Latin America to the history of women, submerged beneath accounts of politics and war.
By looking at history in its entirety we see the interconnections in our past and the contexts of conventional historical narrative. This new edition is fully revised and updated to include a section on how the key issues of the 21st century - climate change, 9/11, the Iraq war, corporate power - fit into the broader patterns of world history. It aims to tell the whole story in the space of one slim volume - and to tease out some of the lessons of history that humanity needs to take forward.
Diagrams, charts and graphs used throughout to illustrate key information.
180 mm x 110 mm, 144 pages, paperback.
