The History of Human Migration (Hardcover)

In "The History of Human Migration", an international team of historians tells the story of our migrations across the globe from prehistory of today's global population shifts. Using annotated maps, informative timelines and hundreds of photographs, paintings and artefacts, they bring our epic story to vivid life and show how migration is a major factor in the history of civilization. "The History of Human Migration" covers: the causes and effects of human migrations; prehistoric migrations; traditional migration routes; conquests and expansions of the Roman, Barbarian, Viking, Mongol and Arab populations; colonisation, convicts and slaves; industrialisation, famine, war, persecution and economic collapse; migration around the world, including Africa, Israel, the Eastern Bloc, India, Pakistan, Vietnam, and North America; and future mass-movements of humans.
