History of the World
History of the World investigates how elements of civilization, such as writing and tool-making, came into being and spread from one country to the next. It chronicles the rise of the world’s great religions, and of human endeavour such as the voyages of early explorers. It retells stories of adversity such as the abolition of slavery, and shows how people have always migrated for a better life, from the very first humans moving across Africa, to millions of 19th-century Europeans crossing the Atlantic in search of the American dream.

Battles
Battles hones in on the decisive conflicts that characterized battlefields from the ancient world to the bomb-scarred landscapes of modern warfare and beyond. Engrossing maps unpack history’s most famous battles, displayed in fascinating detail alongside brand new, in-depth expert analysis to explain how legendary military milestones were won and lost. Historic maps, paintings, photographs, and objects take you to the heart of the action; famous commanders and military leaders are profiled, and the impact of groundbreaking weapons and battlefield innovations is revealed. 

World War II
World War II magnifies in greater detail the key developments that led to the most destructive war on record, combining unprecedented visual detail with specially created and historical maps illustrating all major theatres of war. Layers of information show how the conflict raged around the globe on land, air, and sea, while timelines provide a comprehensive chronology of events. Archival photographs, contemporary artefacts, and profiles of famous leaders reveal the full story of the war that shaped the modern world.
