Along the way, he explains how the Muslim conquest gave Spain its 'paella', how the Earth's collision with another planet created the Moon, how dragonflies the size of a seagull emerged from prehistoric waters, and how the Big Bang can be discovered on your television.

Complete with 250 color photographs, maps, historical paintings and specially designed illustrations , What Happened in the World? The book takes an entertaining and informative look at life on our planet over the last 13.7 billion years.

Why did democracy start in Greece? How did Islam trigger globalization? Why did European explorers try to conquer the world? Can our planet, with its seven billion human population, continue to progress? Are we really superior to other living things?

These are just some of the questions answered in Christopher Lloyd's 13.7 billion-year history of the universe. What Happened in the World? His book blends the knowledge of a wide range of sciences, from astrophysics to zoology, to present the whole story of our planet and to reveal how life, the universe and EVERYTHING are interconnected.
