Reinhardt:Die Geschichte der Welt

30 Years of Knowledge. From Settling Down to Today - The History of Humanity. The history of humankind has been a mosaic of peoples, empires, religions, and cultures that rise and fall since the advent of settled life. Nevertheless, as Volker Reinhardt demonstrates in his masterful presentation, significant patterns and turning points can be discerned. He explains how the first empires emerged around 5000 years ago, which of their achievements endured, and where paths crossed peacefully or violently. When, about 500 years ago, merchants, kings, and conquistadors set out from Europe to conquer the world, a globalization began in the name of progress and marked by violence, which continues to shape the interconnected and polarized world of today. At the forefront of current research and discussion. Volker Reinhardt excels in the art of conveying the essential succinctly and accurately. Includes 10 predominantly double-sided maps.
