This Fleeting World (Ketabe Donya dar Gozar‪)‬

Donya Dar Gozar (This Fleeting World) tells the story of the universe and history of humanity in only 100 pages. Prize-winning historian David Christian covers it all in this inspiring guide to the history of everything, from stars and empires to cities, the World Wide Web, capitalism, and globalization. The translator, Dr Amir Kolini, was born in Iran and now lives in California. He saw revolution, war, and death in the battlefields and prisons of his young adulthood. As a result, he has actively followed global politics in a quest for solutions to the human dilemma, mostly with an emphasis on scientific perspectives. In 2009, he was introduced to the concept of big history. Kolini decided to introduce this concept to Farsi-speaking people in Iran, Afghanistan, and other countries.
