(uk) Editor-in-chief Peter Furtado

This book is set on a grand historical stage, starting from the original starting point (prehistory, before the formation of the earth) to the twenty-first century, covering global events. The book contains the most significant historical events as well as some relatively trivial matters. The book shows 1001 days that build a certain "big picture". It's not a flowing, complete picture-in fact, it's more of a scatterplot than a framed painting-but it's clearly defined. If you try to connect the dots and find the patterns, you will understand how the world is shaped. Each article in the book is independent and presents the events, places, causes and results of that day within a limited space. The content covers politics, dynastic changes and wars, as well as culture, technology, science, and fleeting incidents.
