"So, 'More World History in 3 Points' takes a bird's eye view. A thousand feet above view, which covers the basic details but leaves out the intricate narratives. So, in that way, this book gives a telescopic visualisation of topics," he added.
Besides talking about well-known empires like 'The Chola' or 'The Tang', the book also gives reader a peek into the less talked about empires, including 'The Srivijaya' and 'The Shailendra' in South East Asia, 'The Khushite' and 'The Mali' in Africa, and 'The Olmec' and 'The Wari' in South America.
According to the publishers, whether one is a student or a history buff, this book gives readers "a clear, concise and complete picture of every topic".
"No more having to read long-winded accounts that make the subject complex and dull! This unique book gives you a quick and thorough overview of each topic by distilling details into three crisp, bite-sized capsules. Every paragraph has a key sentence highlighted for easy recall," they added.
The book is currently available for sale across offline and online stores.
