A History of the World in 100 Objects ... has been a triumph: hugely popular, and rightly lauded as one of the most effective and intellectually ambitious initiatives in the making of 'public history' for many decades.
John Adamson, Sunday Telegraph
Highly intelligent, delightfully written and utterly absorbing
Timothy Clifford, Spectator
Allen Lane has done Mr MacGregor proud... The objects have been beautifully photographed, Mr MacGregor's voice comes through distinctively and his arguments about the interconnectedness of disparate societies through the ages are all the stronger for the detail afforded by extra space. A book to savour and start over
Economist
This is a story book, vivid and witty, shining with insights, connections, shocks and delights
Gillian Reynolds, Daily Telegraph
The style is authentic, personal and humorous. MacGregor could not have skewered our pretensions better...Look on our works, ye mighty, and despair
Andrew Roberts, Financial Times
Brilliant, engagingly written, deeply researched
Mary Beard, Guardian
