This is a brilliant and insightful book into 100 objects in the British Museum. MacGregor unpacks the importance of how these objects formed our beliefs and our economic world - from the first coins to symbols which create nations. It gives us an in-depth view into cultures from China, through Europe and into the Americas, that we would not have if we wandered through the museum without a guide. The downfall is that, apart from some colour photos, the small black and white photos at the beginning of the chapters are indistinct. The objects can be seen clearly on the British Museum website. A worthwhile buy for everyone interested in history. Sandy Murray
