Summary:
Historian Ian Mortimer us on a whirlwind tour of the last ten centuries of Western history. A journey into a past vividly brought to life and bursting with ideas, pitting one century against another in a quest to measure which century saw the greatest change. We journey from a time when there was a fair chance of your village being burned to the ground by invaders - and dried human dung was a recommended cure for cancer - to a world in which explorers sailed into the unknown and civilizations came into conflict with each other on an epic scale. A story of godly scientists, fearless adventurers, cold-hearted entrepreneurs, and strong-minded women - a story of discovery, invention, revolution, and cataclysmic shifts in perspective.
