About the Books. Elizabethans traces the people, activists, artists, sportspeople and innovators who shaped Britain during the second Elizabethan age, asking how our generation will be remembered in a century's time. The Making of Modern Britain covers the turbulent decades between the death of Queen Victoria and the end of the Second World War, a period shaken by two world wars and surprising interludes of peace. A History of the World widens the lens further, following history's great change-makers — from Cleopatra to Genghis Khan, Galileo to Mao — to show how understanding the past illuminates our own era of shifting power and revolution.
