Historica 1000 Years of Our Lives and Times by Chief Consultant Dr. Geoffrey Wawro
Historica shows the evolution of people's lives over the last thousand
years, & shows how dramatically the world has changed. In the year
1000 most people lived in rural areas, cities were small & grew
around cathedrals or fortresses or castles; transportation was by horse
& cart; breakfast for most people was a small meal of bread &
cheese at sunrise; most people were illiterate; education was usually
only for wealthy boys & was conducted by the church (in natural
history, 1,000 years ago you may have been taught that hyenas can change
their sex at will, & that the only fear elephants have is of
dragons), & personal freedom was very limited; people's roles in
life were strictly limited by their place in society. Today the world is
a very different place. How did these changes occyr? Historica tells
the story: that of wars, invasions, inventions, discoveries,
explorations, & the amazing people who played a key part in all
these events that have brought us to where we are today. This is history
made real & exciting, with stories that are as dramatic as today's
news, with pictures & maps to bring the most distant events &
civilizations in sharp focus. (From Amazon.com product listing.)
