The Invention of Yesterday
The Invention of Yesterday by Tamim Ansary is a big-picture history book that traces how humans have told the story of the world over time, weaving together narratives from different civilizations. Written in an engaging, conversational style, it helps older teens and adults see that “world history” is not a neutral list of events but a series of choices about what to include and emphasize. Homeschool parents use it as a spine or enrichment for advanced world history courses. As a single, moderately priced volume, it offers many evenings of thought-provoking reading and can reshape how learners approach timelines and textbooks.
