Description: One of the world's most celebrated writers delivers his most ambitious book to date--an epic history of the human adventure, told backwards, forwards, sideways, through past, present, and future.
Review Quotes:
"Unique...Nothing less than a capsule history of the human race. In some 600 short entries, he travels from prehistory to the present, from the impressionistic to the brutally, precisely documented."
--New York Times Book Review
