Description
Buckle up for an extraordinary ride through the 14-billion year history of absolutely everything! Written and narrated by bestselling world history author Christopher Lloyd, this remarkable story (which is far more amazing than anything you can make up) sweeps through natural history with the creation of planet Earth, the beginning of life, the age of dinosaurs, mass extinctions, and the rise of prehistoric humans. The story then leaps through the ancient civilizations and into medieval times, where wars, revolutions, and scientific inventions reshape the world. Finally, we arrive in the modern age which brings with it new challenges of pollution, climate change, viral pandemics, and much more. How will a world of 8 billion humans survive in the future?
Ideal for all ages 7–107, this entertaining, fast-paced narrative history connects all the essential dots of the past with personality, humor, and flair. Running time is 7.5 hours split into 15 chapters of 20–25 minutes each.
Advance Praise
“British author Christopher Lloyd brings personality and humor to the narration of his entertaining and informative history of the world from the big bang to the present day. In just over six hours, this audiobook presents a brief but vivid journey through geological time and the progression of mostly Western human civilization. Music separates each chapter and helps set the stage for the next chronological era in history, which ranges from dinosaurs to the birth of modern humans, ancient civilizations, classical empires, the Industrial Revolution, both World Wars, and current global warming. Lloyd's enthusiastic narration highlights the drama of the incredible events that shaped our world, and should spark listeners' fascination.”
