Make no mistake, this book does what it says on the cover. That also goes to say that it is ''not'' A History of the World ''of'' Numbers, or A History of the World's Numbers and what they might mean, as other books provide. This is a primer of the world's history, right from the earliest days of civilisation up to the close of World War Two, in handy bite-sized chunks, where the headline data can be given using a number.
