Summary: "In this book we travel back in time and across the globe, to see how we humans have shaped our world and been shaped by it over the past two million years. The book tries to tell a history of the world in a way which has not been attempted before, by deciphering the messages which objects communicate across time - messages about peoples and places, environments and interactions, about different moments in history and about our own time as we reflect upon it." -- Provided by the author.
