Two Hundred Thousand Years presents snapshots of life since the dawn of mankind. In an engaging series of short stories, characters live the human experience and journey through the great gateways of human history, seeking answers to compelling questions such as: - How did man, a physical weakling, rise to dominate a planet of powerful carnivores? - Does contemporary man differ from his ancient predecessors? - Can man's future be seen in his past? - Is man good, evil, both, or neither? - What will likely end man's reign on earth? Characters learn what it means to be human-in both good times and bad. In Fire, an African tribesman struggles to cope after his three-year-old child is swept away by a powerful river. In The Hunt, a clan braves the tundra as they seek to kill bison, driving off other carnivores, and finding ways to keep warm in their bid to continue living. In The Astronaut, a spaceman marvels at passing through perhaps the greatest gateway of all: outer space. Entertaining and thought provoking, Two Hundred Thousand Years explores how man got to where he is today and where he might be going in the future.

'Absolutely, definitively alone', a young Jewish student in Romania tries to make sense of a world that has decided he doesn't belong. Spending his days walking the streets and his nights drinking and gambling, meeting revolutionaries, zealots, lovers and libertines, he adjusts his eyes to the darkness that falls over Europe, and threatens to destroy him. Mihail Sebastian's 1934 masterpiece, now translated into English for the first time, was written amid the anti-Semitism which would, by the end of the decade, force him out of his career and turn his friends and colleagues against him. For Two Thousand Years is a prescient, heart-wrenching chronicle of resilience and despair, broken layers of memory and the terrible forces of history.

A Best Book of the Year: Mother Jones • Bloomberg News • National Post • Kirkus In these pages, Nicholas Basbanes—the consummate bibliophile’s bibliophile—shows how paper has been civilization’s constant companion. It preserves our history and gives record to our very finest literary, cultural, and scientific accomplishments. Since its invention in China nearly two millennia ago, the technology of paper has spread throughout the inhabited world. With deep knowledge and care, Basbanes traces paper’s trail from the earliest handmade sheets to the modern-day mills. Paper, yoked to politics, has played a crucial role in the unfolding of landmark events, from the American Revolution to Daniel Ellsberg’s Pentagon Papers to the aftermath of 9/11. Without paper, modern hygienic practice would be unimaginable; as currency, people will do almost anything to possess it; and, as a tool of expression, it is inextricable from human culture. Lavishly researched, compellingly written, this masterful guide illuminates paper’s endless possibilities.
