A Very Short History of the World is an accessible and wide-ranging account of human history by one of Australia’s best-known historians. In this condensed version of his larger work, Geoffrey Blainey traces the story of humanity over millions of years, from early migration out of Africa through to the rise of empires, exploration, technological change, and the shaping of the modern world.

Written in a clear and engaging style, the book moves across continents and centuries, touching on civilisation, war, religion, trade, discovery, and everyday life. Blainey combines broad historical scope with readable storytelling, making this an ideal introduction to world history .
