Neil MacGregor writes cultural history through objects, artworks and museum collections, using material things to connect distant periods and societies. A History of the World in 100 Objects moves from early stone tools to modern manufactured goods, with each chapter beginning from one object and widening into trade, belief, technology or empire. Germany: Memories of a Nation uses monuments, coins, buildings and everyday items to explore a history shaped by changing borders and fractured political memory. Living with the Gods examines how communities express belief through images, ritual objects and sacred spaces. MacGregor's prose is calm, explanatory and highly accessible, with objects carrying the structure rather than a strict chronological survey. His work fits museum studies, world history, art history and material culture. Read more Less
