Unstoppable Us 2 vol

Stories about the past are always filled with kings and kingdoms, but 10,000 years ago humans were just hunter-gatherers who roamed the Earth. So why did we settle down and become farmers? How were societies and laws established? How did we go from being the rulers of Earth to the rulers of each other? And why isn’t the world fair? In this dynamic and colorful book, Yuval Noah Harari brings young readers on another immersive adventure through history, exploring the birth of civiliza-tion, the consequences we endure because of it, and the many history-changing nventions we created along the way. From agriculture and writing to pyramids and taxes, this is the story of the progress we’ve made and the price we pay for it, as well as of the power we hold to make a brighter, fairer future.
