Human societies, their cultures and the long arc of their development form the subject of this softcover reference volume. The encyclopedia gathers material on how civilisations formed, how they organised themselves and what they left behind, presented in an accessible register rather than an academic one.

Reasons to pick it up: • Reference coverage of human societies, cultures and civilisations • Softcover edition, lighter to handle than a hardbound reference • Written in plain language for readers outside academic history • Arranged for looking things up as well as for reading through Suited to students, home reference shelves and general readers who want a broad historical overview in one volume.
