Why do people migrate? Who were the first travellers in history? And
where will we humans travel to next?
Since the dawn of time, people have travelled to distant lands for many
different reasons; to escape war, famine or injustice, to find
work, or to simply see new sights and have an adventure. But
everyone who migrates does it to seek a brighter future.
A World Full of Journeys tells some of the most fascinating stories
of migration throughout history. From the very first humans who left
Africa almost 70,000 years ago and moved around the world, to immigrants
welcomed to America at Ellis Island, this book is packed with
fascinating tales of human triumph.
Beautifully illustrated with bright pictures and maps detailing these
migrants' journeys bring these stories to life. From Viking sea
traders and Roman armies marching through Europe to Huegenot
refugees fleeing persecution from the Catholic church and migrants
travelling from the Caribbean to Britain as part of the Windrush
Generation, this book explores the fascinating stories of the people
who have crossed the world.
With chapters including Africa, Oceania, Europe and the
Americas, this book looks all across the world to tell the full
story of our journeys throughout history.
You'll discover that every single journey has the capacity to change
the world.
