Sapiens - A Graphic History 3

Sometimes history seems like a laundry list of malevolent monarchs, pompous presidents and dastardly dictators. But are they really the ones in the driving seat? Sapiens: A Graphic History Volume 3 - The Masters of History takes us on a hilarious ride through the past to discover the forces that change our world, bring us together, and - just as often - tear us apart. Grab a front-row seat to the greatest show on earth and explore the rise of money, religion and empire. Join our fabulous host Heroda Tush, as she wonders: which historical superhero will display the power to make civilisations rise and fall? Will Mr Random prove that luck and circumstance prevail? Will Lady Empire convince us of the irrefutable shaping force of conquerors? Or will Clashwoman beat them all to greatness by reminding us of the endless confrontations that seem to forever plague our species? This third instalment in the Sapiens: A Graphic History series is an engaging, insightful, and colourful retelling of the story of humankind. Praise for Yuval Noah Harari''s Sapiens : ''I would recommend Sapiens to anyone who''s interested in the history and future of our species.'' Bill Gates ''Interesting and provocative . . . It gives you a sense of how briefly we''ve been on this Earth'' Barack Obama ''Jaw-dropping from the first word to the last . . . It may be the best book I''ve ever read'' Chris Evans
