H. G. Wells, who is otherwise popular as a prolific writer of science fiction, was also a keen historian and social commentator. This brilliant book by him is a detailed rendering of Earth's history spanning from the origins of the Earth to the outcome of the First World War. From the evolution of life and the development of the human race to covering different ages: Neolithic era, the rise of Judaism, the Golden Age of Athens, the life of Christ, the rise of Islam, the discovery of America, and the Industrial Revolution, this book leaves no stone unturned.
