![[attachments/The-New-Penguin-History-of-the-World.jpg|height=240]] ## Review One of the first history book to take a holistic view of 'history' itself...starting with pre-history, JM Roberts, a renowned Oxford historian takes us through early human history and some basic anthropology too. Of his own admission, he has tried to focus on currently relevant, and often ill-known issues rather than the hackneyed 'revolutions' of Europeans and Americans. Easy read, and informative. ## Reading status - Status: Reference - My rating: 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Date started / added: 2008/01/06 - Date finished: — ## Metadata - Author: J.M.
