Description Reviews (0) Refreshes the parts other history books can’t reach…A bit ropy on the Renaissance?In the dark about the Enlightenment?Or, in fact, do you need a revision course on the entire history of the world and want to read a witty, irreverent, definitely not boring romp through everything that has ever happened on planet earth – from 15 billion years BC to the present day? Good.A Less Boring History of the World tells you everything you need to know from the Big Bang to Barack Obama, taking in the Byzantines, the Black Death, Bin Laden and the fall of bankers along the way, all boiled down to bite size chunks so that you can finally piece together all the different bits of history – and see how on earth we ended up in the mess we are today. A Less Boring History refreshes your memory and broadens your mind. And, if that’s not enough, it will also make you laugh. A lot. A history book like no other – an irreverent, rollicking, romp through everything interesting that ever happened on planet earth from 15 million years BC to today.About the AuthorDave Rear is a writer and academic who lives and works in Tokyo. He read history at Cambridge and, out of sheer lack of imagination, almost became a school teacher, until he came to his senses and emigrated. He now lectures in English language, history, social science and anything else his students let him get away with. He is married with a young son, who occasionally gives him five minutes or so to write.Book InformationISBN 9780224087025Author Dave RearFormat HardbackPage Count 288Imprint Square PegPublisher Vintage PublishingWeight(grams) 406gDimensions(mm) 213mm * 154mm * 29mm Reviews There are no reviews yet.
