A New History of the World, 1850-1960
(Author) Dan JonesThe Colour of Timespans more than a hundred years of world history from the reign of Queen Victoria and the US Civil War to the Cuban Missile Crisis and beginning of the Space Age.

The book is a collaboration between a gifted Brazilian artist and a leading British historian.

Dan Jones has written a narrative that anchors each image in its context, and weaves them into a vivid account of the world that we live in today. A fusion of amazing pictures and well-chosen words, The Colour of Timeoffers a unique - and often beautiful - perspective on the past. This compact edition of The Colour of Timemakes the perfect gift for anyone (and not just anyone interested in history).
