"Spotlighting artworks, artifacts and documents from the British Museum's vast collections, Neil MacGregor- the museum's director-brilliantly elucidates and connects items ranging from Zhou Dynasty bronze vessels to Victorian tea sets, from the Rosetta Stone to etchings by David Hockney, from pieces of eight to the modern credit card. Traversing continents, cultures and epochs with perfect aplomb, it is ultimately a defense of why the universal museum remains a vital institution in today's world. This is an enthralling and profoundly humane book that every civilized person should read." [Jonathan Lopez, Wall Street Journal]
