Book Information & Summary
Written by the Editorial Team for World History Newspaper
Another ambitious version of history in the form of newspaper. This time it covers the whole world . Nowadays Many talk about the 'millennium' on the eve of 21th century, but what matters in this special series is not 'millennium' but 'TEN MILLENNIA' of human civilization. It reviewed this period of time in a wholly different view from the one many had before.
WORLD HISTORY HAS BEEN INTERPRETED MOSTLY BY WESTERN SCHOLARS, WHICH RESULTED IN A LOPSIDED REPRESENTATION OF WORLD HISTORY: the history of Western civilization was at the center and the histories of Western Asia, India, and China were regarded as peripheral developments. Also in quantity, the pages on the West far exceeded in number those on non-European cultures. World History Newspaper CORRECTS THIS UNFAIR REPRESENTATION AND OBJECTIVELY DESCRIBES EACH PERIOD. Readers will therefore find many references and materials concerning events that have been hitherto neglected in history books.
World History Newspaper did this with all the merits that the newspaper form could have. Readers willsee the past as a dynamic part of the present, not fossilized but alive, andl feel as if they are in a time machine traveling back in time to read newspapers of the virtual reality.
The ten thousand years of human civilization reveals itself in a plain panoramic view in this series where readers can explore world history while they read newspaper articles.
