Book one covers the early history of the Amerindian population of the Americas and of the African, Indian, Chinese and European people who came to the Caribbean islands. In a lively and direct style it describes the way in which ordinary men, women and children lived in these various societies in the past. The book is lavishly illustrated with colour maps and photographs. At the end of each chapter there are a wide range of questions and activities designed both to test knowledge and to stimulate further enquiry and thought.
