Book of the WeekThe Story of IndiaThe Story of India is a tale of incredible drama, great inventions, enormous diversity and phenomenal creativity.
In this illustrated volume, Wood tells a fascinating story -- nothing less than the 10,000 year history of India. It became a free nation only sixty years ago but it has existed for thousand of years. Today the population of the subcontinent as a whole-India, Pakistan and Bangladesh is currently 1.5 billion, more than a fifth of all the world’s people. In this book, Wood shows us how this massively achieving country relates to the demands of the modern world, while celebrating the awe-inspiring riches of the country's past. Taking us from the Himalayas to the sultry jungles of India's deep South, Michael Wood presents every aspect of the country, from its cultures, regions, religions and major historical figures like Ghandi and Nehru. There is so much about ancient Indian history that gets overlooked and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a thorough, in-depth account. I enjoyed the colour photographs that compliment the amazing history of one of the world’s greatest countries. It is impressive.28 January 2008 Main Navigation: | About Us | Members | Searching | Maori Resources | Kid Space | Teen Zone | What's New
