History’s greatest tour guide; Ian Mortimer; takes us on an eye-opening and expansive journey through the last millennium of human innovation. In Millennium; bestselling historian Ian Mortimer takes the reader on a whirlwind tour of the last ten centuries of Western history. It is a journey into a past vividly brought to life and bursting with ideas; that pits one century against another in his quest to measure which century saw the greatest change. We journey from a time when there was a fair chance of your village being burned to the ground by invaders ― and dried human dung was a recommended cure for cancer ― to a world in which explorers sailed into the unknown and civilizations came into conflict with each other on an epic scale. Here is a story of godly scientists; fearless adventurers; cold-hearted entrepreneurs; and strong-minded women ― a story of discovery; invention; revolution; and cataclysmic shifts in perspective.Millennium is a journey into the past like no other. Our understanding of human development will never be the same again; and the lessons we learn along the way are profound ones for us all.
