In addition, and on a similar conceptual basis, I'd recommend:
The Great Simplification [1] The Century of the Self [2] Can't Get You Out of My Head [3] The Resilience web site content [4] The Consilience Project [5]

I find Yuval's work to be more digestible, in part due to better writing, and in part due to less pretense.
I would also suggest Susan RiceBauer's The History of Ancient Civilizations, Jack Weatherford's Genghis Khan and the making is the modern world, and Lars Brownworths Lost to the West: the forgotten Byzantine Empire.
