## The fourteen volumes
- Volume I, Cosmos & Origins (5 chapters): The numbers in this volume are not numbers anyone can really feel, no human brain has ever genuinely grasped what they mean.
- Volume II, Human Origins (6 chapters): For almost all of our species' history, we were not the only humans on Earth; other kinds walked the same continents.
- Volume III, The Deep Past (6 chapters): Almost everything that makes the modern world recognisable as ours was invented in the twelve thousand years covered here.
- Volume IV, The Ancient World (9 chapters): The volume you are about to read covers what historians call the Ancient World, the civilisations whose names everyone knows.
- Volume V, Civilisations We Forgot (13 chapters): History is partly a story about which civilisations got remembered and which did not; this one covers thirteen that were not.
- Volume VI, Empires & Philosophy (9 chapters): Empires existed for thousands of years before Cyrus walked into Babylon; what changes around 550 BC is not the existence of empire.
- Volume VII, Religion & The Sacred (10 chapters): Humans have been asking what happens after death for at least a hundred thousand years, we know because we keep finding the burials.
- Volume VIII, Science & The Natural World (11 chapters): Science is not a body of knowledge. It is a method for finding out, and a culture grown up around that method over four hundred years.
- Volume IX, The Making of the Modern World (6 chapters): The modern world is recent; its framework was not waiting to be discovered, but constructed across roughly four centuries.
- Volume X, The Modern Era (5 chapters): The 20th century is the one we live in the shadow of, two world wars, the bomb, the Cold War, decolonisation, the internet.
- Volume XI, Power & Control (6 chapters): Power: the question of how it organises itself, who holds it, who serves it, who pays for it, the volume we have been working toward.
- Volume XII, Technology Epochs (7 chapters): Humans have been technological animals from the start; our earliest stone tools are older than our own species.
- Volume XIII, Mind & The Beyond (5 chapters): Twelve volumes described what humans built outside themselves; this one turns inward, toward the strangest thing in the known universe.
- Volume XIV, The Speculative Frontier (5 chapters): For a hundred and one chapters we moved from the well-established to the carefully argued; here the interpretations are genuinely open.
