520 _aReviews the global history of the last 1,000 years as a visitor from the future would see it, beginning and ending in East Asia and considering European and American dominance as temporary. Fernandez-Armesto (history, U. of Oxford) uses small details of the human experience to convey broad historical changes, and gives less attention to well-documented historical eras such as Elizabethan England in favor of periods not usually covered, such as events in Makassar and Timbuktu. Includes some 400 b&w photos and illustrations.
