Author: Booth, Mark

What if everything we've been told is only part of the story? And what if it's the wrong part? Starting from a dangerous premise - that everything we're taught about the world's past is corrupted - the author produces nothing short of an alternate history of the past 3,000 years. Booth is relentless, charging through time and space and thought in interdisciplinary fashion, embracing cognitive science, religion, psychology, historiography, and philosophy, and restoring a huge swath of our cultural heritage that has for long been hidden. Now in paper. 512 pp.
