This volume takes you around mountains, along valleys, over hills and into cities, revealing the world's history along the way. Via a range of train routes - from cross-continent epics to short-but-sweet rides - it explores how the natural world has evolved and maps the progress of ancient civilisations, travelling through the centuries to follow the tracks of great explorers and historical figures.
