"The Penguin history ... tells the entire story of human endeavour in all its grandeur and folly, drama and pain in a single book .. revising it throughout in the light of new research and discoveries, including the recent revolution in our understanding of ancient civilizations and what now seems to be the inexorable rise of Asia and the increasingly troubled situation in the West"-- Back cover
