Opis

Conventional accounts of world history tend to focus on the rise of Western civilization and concentrate on the story of Ancient Greece, the Roman empire and the expansion of Europe. The histories of the great civilizations of China, India and Japan, and therefore the experience of the majority of the world's people, have been relegated to a minor place.
