This Fleeting World: A Short History of Humanity

â€œI first became an avid student of David Christian by watching his course, Big History, on DVD, and so I am very happy to see his enlightening presentation of the worldâ€™s history captured in these essays. I hope it will introduce a wider audience to this gifted scientist and teacher.â€ â€”Bill Gates

A great historian can make clear the connections between the first Homo sapiens and todayâ€™s version of the species, and a great storyteller can make those connections come alive. David Christian is both, and This Fleeting World: A Short History of Humanity, makes the journeyâ€”from the earliest foraging era to the agrarian era to our own modern eraâ€”a fascinating one. Ready to help your students give up their preconceptions that anything old is probably boring? Enter This Fleeting World.
