Road Through Time: The Story of Humanity on the Move

- By Mary Soderstrom

“A lucidly written overview of this particular march through the lens of time: the discovery of horses as transport, the invention of the wheel, the establishm­ent of early trade routes, and the expansion of empires through war… Soderstrom transports us from the romance to the brutality of the road and leaves us wondering if there’s room (or time) for still more marches across this aching planet.”
