H.G. Wells: The Outline Of Human History Author: H.G. Wells One Volume Edition/January 1930 Garden City Publishing 1920 H.G. Wells/Reprinted January 1930 CAB Comment––I love this book. It might be a bit antiquarian, but it is so fascinating as a reference…well, to reference the collective knowledge of the early 20th century. H.G. Wells, with the help of a few others, compiled this wonderful edition that shows just what a true thinker and intellect he really was. I believe Wells’ fiction novels are so strong and because they are firmly rooted in a world of non-fiction, history, philosophy, and fact. And this beautiful 1930 edition of “The Outline Of Human History” looks great displayed on any nightstand, end table, or shelf––it will make anyone look…well, really smart. “H.G.
