Lifelines from Our A New World History tells us about the most important changes in the human past so that we may build the most fulfilling future. It presents a profound vision of the entire history of humanity.
Intriguing approach to world history: No dates, no kings, no wars. Instead, a categorizing of human societies into 3 groups: Kinship, Tributary, and Capitalist. For the layperson, this approach makes a lot more sense than the traditional one, since it allows us to see societal PATTERNS without the distractions of individual national "events." I loved this book!
