About this product

Product Information

Published alongside his Sex Play at the National Theatre comes Desmond Dingle's mind-bendingly erudite account of how we all got to be where we are now. Desmond Dingle, founder and leading actor of the National Theatre of Brent, gives us the benefit of his encyclepaeadd - incyclicalpeed - huge and devastating knowledge by charting the history of the world in sixty-six chapters, three prefaces and a foreword by Omar Sharif. Starting, obviously, with The Creation of the Universe, and moving swiftly through The Dawn of Man, The Grandeur that was Rome and A History of the English Channel, each chapter is replete with erudition: The Chinese Empire is one of the oldest Empires in the world and existed until recently without anyone knowing about it. Apart from the Chinese, obviously. Each chapter also ends with helpful suggestions of 'Things to Do': eg Make a scale model of the Big Bang. Discuss Civilisation generally. Release from bondage an oppressed person of your acquaintance. Originally published (in 1987) as All the World's a Globe, this revised and updated version is cynically and opportunistically re-issued to cashin on the anticipated success of the same author's Wonder of Sex at the National Theatre this Christmas. (Fingers crossed.)

    The seller kindly got in touch to say the book I ordered did not meet the quality advertised due to being found to be in a poor condition at the packing stage. Unfortuntely no replacement was available and would I like to pick a book of equivalent value from the marketplace - which I did. That book arrived safely and was in the condition advertised. I have used this seller many times before and I am grateful for their quality control decission, rather than send me a damaged book. Will use again.

    It's been a very positive experience buying from this seller who I have bought from many times before and will do again. The DVD is exactly as described and is in very good condition. It was very reasonably priced and was securely packaged and delivered super fast. I really recommend this seller. Communication is excellent if needed, very prompt, helpful and friendly. A top notch seller who always gives their best. 5🌟 all round πŸ‘
