Mr. Deguchi, who loves history, has created a lot of history books so far. However, this time, in response to the unreasonableness of the Nikkei Business editorial department, “I want a book that can read the history of 5,000 years of humankind in 7 hours and grasp the big picture,” I decided to create an unprecedented “history book that can be read in one go”. ” challenged. Japanese history, Western history, Eastern history, political history, cultural history, and economic history are all connected and included in a volume that can be read in 7 hours.
No need to memorize proper nouns or years. He focused on the “great trends” in which human beings have lived, such as “the function of climate change played a major role in the rise and fall of great powers.” It is a new history textbook that is also useful for essay test preparation.
