Worldview' is a fascinating chronicle of the history of the world written from memory. The book begins just before the 'big bang' and ends as the twentieth century draws to a close. Written without any recourse to reference material, relying solely on Emma Kay's memory to chart history, from a variety of sources - newspapers, books, films, TV programmes, computer games, memories of school lessons, music, advertising and her own travels ... The neutral and authoritative style admits no doubts, yet is fallible: the gaps, inaccuracies and the missing parts of history are as important to the work as the recollections themselves. -- publisher's statement.
