Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - When H. G. Wells published this popular history of planet Earth in 1922, the highest off the surface humans had reached was seven miles, barely 37,000 feet; the best guess at the planet's age was merely 'more than' 2 billion years; the beginnings of organic life on Earth were still little understood.But with all the confidence of his immense genius and wide-ranging appreciation for all things scientific, Wells presents a readable, concise survey of the state of knowledge at his time about the planet and human presence upon it.Wells asks that you read this hefty 1922 work-adapted from his two-volume Outline of History, published in 1920-'straightforwardly almost as a novel is read,' and indeed, this story of Earth, from its very formation and the first appearance of homo sapiens through the Russian Revolution and the reconstruction after World War I, reads like the most thrilling adventure story ever told.Though it has been factually supplanted by scholarship that came after it, this remains an engaging history, a classic of science fact from one of the fathers of modern science fiction.British author HERBERT GEORGE WELLS (1866-1946) is best known for his groundbreaking science fiction novels The Time Machine (1895), The Invisible Man (1897), and The War of the Worlds (1898).

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This Short History of The World is meant to be read straightforwardly almost as a novel is read. It gives in the most general way an account of our present knowledge of history, shorn of elaborations and complications. It has been amply illustrated and everything has been done to make it vivid and clear. From it the reader should be able to get that general view of history which is so necessary a framework for the study of a particular period or the history of a particular country. It may be found useful as a preparatory excursion before the reading of the author's much fuller and more explicit Outline of History is undertaken. But its especial end is to meet the needs of the busy general reader, too driven to study the maps and time charts of the Outline in detail; Who wishes to refresh and repair his faded or fragmentary conceptions of the great adventure of mankind. It is not an abstract or condensation of that former work. Within its aim the Outline admits of no further condensation. This is a much more generalized History, planned and written afresh.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - These first real humans beings we know of in Europe appear already to have belonged to one or other of at least two very distinct races. One of these races was of a very high type indeed; it was tall and big brained. One of the women's skulls found exceeds in capacity that of the average man to-day. One of the men's skeletons is over six feet in height. The physical type resembled that of the North American Indian. They were savages, but savages of a high order.from 'The First True Men'When H.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - H. G. Wells, who is otherwise popular as a prolific writer of science fiction, was also a keen historian and social commentator.

From the evolution of life and the development of the human race to covering different ages: Neolithic era, the rise of Judaism, the Golden Age of Athens, the life of Christ, the rise of Islam, the discovery of America, and the Industrial Revolution, this book leaves no stone unturned.
