The Elizabethan age was a tumultuous time, when long-cherished certainties were crumbling and life was uncertain. This title uncovers the extraordinary stories behind twenty objects from the period to re-create an age at once distant and yet surprisingly familiar.

영국박물관과 BBC가 공동 기획한 역사 프로젝트 유럽사의 서문을 장식한 독일을 가다! 흔히 독일 하면 히틀러와 유대인 학살을 자행했던 나라를 떠올린다. 혹은 무뚝뚝하고 딱딱한 독일 병정과 무서운 냉전시대를 떠올리기 쉽다. 그러나 이 책의 저자이자 영국박물관장인 닐 맥그리거는 "독일은 최근의 시리아 난민처럼 혹독한 난민 시절을 겪었고 합의를 통해 작은 나라들을 이끌어온 느슨한 연합체"라고 말하며 독일의 건물과 물건, 사람과 장소를 통해 유럽사의 중심에 서 있는 독일사를 풀어낸다. 독일 역사 인식의 출발점, 기념비 독일을 이해하기 위해 독일사 산책을 나선 저자는 우선 독일의 기념비에 주목한다. 독일사를 이야기할 때 반드시 짚고 넘어가야 할 문제 때문이다. 나폴레옹 전쟁으로 유럽 대륙이 혼란에 빠진 시기의 기록이 유럽 곳곳에 개선문으로 남아 있다.

Neil MacGregor's A History of the World in 100 Objects takes a bold, original approach to human history, exploring past civilizations through the objects that defined them. Encompassing a grand sweep of human history, A History of the World in 100 Objects begins with one of the earliest surviving objects made by human hands, a chopping tool from the Olduvai gorge in Africa, and ends with objects which characterise the world we live in today. Seen through MacGregor's eyes, history is a kaleidoscope - shifting, interconnected, constantly surprising, and shaping our world today in ways that most of us have never imagined. A stone pillar tells us about a great Indian emperor preaching tolerance to his people; Spanish pieces of eight tell us about the beginning of a global currency; and an early Victorian tea-set speaks to us about the impact of empire. An intellectual and visual feast, this is one of the most engrossing and unusual history books published in years. 'Brilliant, engagingly written, deeply researched' Mary Beard, Guardian 'A triumph: hugely popular, and rightly lauded as one of the most effective and intellectually ambitious initiatives in the making of 'public history' for many decades' Sunday Telegraph 'Highly intelligent, delightfully written and utterly absorbing ' Timothy Clifford, Spectator 'This is a story book, vivid and witty, shining with insights, connections, shocks and delights' Gillian Reynolds Daily Telegraph

From the renowned director of the British Museum, a kaleidoscopic history of humanity told through things we have made. When did people first start to wear jewelry or play music? When were cows domesticated and why do we feed their milk to our children? Where were the first cities and what made them succeed? Who invented math-or came up with money? The history of humanity is a history of invention and innovation, as we have continually created new items to use, to admire, or to leave our mark on the world. In this original and thought-provoking book, Neil MacGregor, director of the British Museum, has selected one hundred man-made artifacts, each of which gives us an intimate glimpse of an unexpected turning point in human civilization. A History of the World in 100 Objects stretches back two million years and covers the globe. From the very first hand axe to the ubiquitous credit card, each item has a story to tell; together they relate the larger history of mankind-revealing who we are by looking at what we have made. Handsomely designed, with more than 150 color photographs throughout the text, A History of the World in 100 Objects is a gorgeous reading book and makes a great gift for anyone interested in history.
