Written with warmth and wit, it presents the full panorama of world history — from ancient Egypt and Greece to the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the rise of modern nations — in a style that is both authoritative and richly engaging. Originally awarded the very first Newbery Medal in 1922, this landmark work argues that understanding history is essential to understanding ourselves, connecting readers across generations to the great forces that have shaped human society. Illustrated by the author himself, the narrative breathes life into historical figures and civilizations with vivid storytelling, making it as compelling for adult readers as for younger audiences. A genuine classic of popular historiography, it remains one of the most beloved introductions to the human story ever written.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956446376155,"sku":"2026770002090-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/2149966d-44f4-46a5-bea0-0a3fdc631280.png?v=1783501136","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770002090-secondhand-the-story-of-mankind","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
