A Short History of the World in 50 Animals provides a new perspective on the grand sweep of our planet' s making, taking readers from the time of the dinosaurs to the time of Dolly, the world' s most famous sheep, who was the first cloned mammal. This book will include a great variety of beasts from across the animal kingdom, some well known and others far more surprising, from every continent in the world. Each entry will show the creature' s influence on world development, economy, health, culture, religion and society. The size of the animals range from hulking elephants to tiny bees but each one has made a significant impact on history. The book will include charming black and white illustrations and fact boxes that will pick out specific examples of extraordinary animals. A Short History of the World in 50 Animals details the impact, legacy and role of fifty animals that determined the world' s history, and shows how many of them are essential for our future survival.
