From the vicissitudes of geography and successive eras, great scientific discoveries and groundbreaking books, empires and travels, religions and epidemics. And this fabric is woven by people: rulers and rebels, scientists and prophets. And all this together in its development and amazing combination is woven into the world - as it was and as it is.

What is the connection between the Times New Roman font and the famous Carolingian Renaissance? How did the invention of firearms destroy feudalism? What is the connection between the Napoleonic Wars and canned food? Finally, what role does personality play in history?
The book is divided into four sections and cross-referenced so that the reader can easily navigate through the chapters and related articles.
