Book Description
The acclaimed seven-volume UNESCO History of Humanity series provides a panoramic overview of different world cultures and their development from a uniquely global perspective. The volumes offer in-depth coverage of areas of the world that are seldom featured in other histories, and balance Western perceptions of history ith views from China, Africa, India and other regions. This new volume of the History of Humanity covers the period between the seventh and fifteenth centuries, making special reference to indigenous civilizations in Asia, Africa, the Americas and Oceania. It takes a broad view extending from the examination of long-term trends and developments across the period to the everyday lives of ordinary people: where they lived, where they worshipped, what tools they used, what materials they crafted. It examines traditional and more recently discovered sources of historical data, including major excavations, local archives, manuscripts, interpretation of folklore and literature, oral data and ethnography.
