Now in an updated edition, The Human Journey offers a truly concise yet satisfyingly full history of the world from ancient times to today. Presenting world history in a grand humanistic tradition, the book’s scope, as the title implies, is the entire story of humanity in planetary context.
The Human Journey offers a truly concise yet satisfying full history of the world from ancient times to the present. Its themes include not only the great questions of the humanities--nature versus nurture, the history and meaning of human variation, the sources of wealth, and causes of revolution--but also the major transformations in human history: agriculture, cities, iron, writing, universal religions, global trade, industrialization, popular government, justice, and equality. Beginning with our most important questions and searching all of our past for answers, this is world history in a grand humanistic tradition.
