Historian, author and documentary maker Michael Wood has travelled the length and breadth of China, the world's oldest continuous civilisation and longest lasting state, to compile a stunning new single volume history of China, The Story of China, which offers a look into the past of the global superpower and its significance today. Professor Wood joins the show to discuss the new book and explain why he believes China is the greatest civilisation on earth.
