Tamim Ansary

Powell's City of Books 1005 W Burnside Street, Portland, OR, United States

Tamim Ansary’s The Invention of Yesterday (PublicAffairs) is a sweeping global human history that describes the separate beginnings of the world's major cultural movements – Confucianism, Islam, Judeo-Christianity, and Nomadism – and the dramatic, sometimes ruinous, sometimes transformative effects of their ever closer intertwinement that is the defining feature of our world today.
