Contents: Publisher's Note:

The story of man from the dawn of prehistory to the beginnings of the modern era - a brilliant history of how societies begin with common roots, grow into separate organisms, yet continue re-rooting, growing, interrelating, until, like the banyan-tree, they become an entire forest that remains a single tree.
