From the Big Bang to the present day, this book tells the story of the world in a clear and engaging way. You'll learn about the rise and fall of civilizations, the great wars and revolutions, and the scientific and technological advances that have shaped our world.

The Big Bang

The Big Bang is the scientific theory that the universe began about 13.8 billion years ago with a very hot, dense state. This state expanded and cooled, forming the first atoms and eventually the stars and galaxies that we see today.

The Ancient World

The ancient world saw the rise of the first civilizations in Mesopotamia, Egypt, and India. These civilizations developed writing, mathematics, and astronomy. They also built great cities and monuments, such as the pyramids of Giza and the Great Wall of China.

The Middle Ages

The Middle Ages lasted from the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th century to the beginning of the Renaissance in the 14th century. This period was marked by the rise of Christianity, the Crusades, and the development of feudalism.

The Renaissance

The Renaissance was a period of great cultural and intellectual change in Europe. It began in Italy in the 14th century and spread to the rest of Europe in the 15th and 16th centuries. During this time, there was a revival of interest in classical learning, art, and science.

The Age of Exploration

The Age of Exploration began in the 15th century with the voyages of Christopher Columbus and Vasco da Gama. This period saw Europeans explore the world and establish colonies in the Americas, Africa, and Asia.

The Industrial Revolution

The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain in the 18th century and spread to the rest of the world in the 19th century. This period saw the development of new technologies, such as the steam engine and the cotton gin. These technologies led to a dramatic increase in productivity and the rise of the factory system.

The 20th Century

The 20th century was a time of great change and upheaval. It saw the outbreak of two world wars, the rise and fall of the Soviet Union, and the development of new technologies, such as the computer and the internet.

The 21st Century

The 21st century is still in its early stages, but it has already seen a number of significant changes. These include the rise of the internet, the global financial crisis, and the climate crisis.
