Great history reference
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
A single huge book that outlines world history in chronoligical order with all civilizations represented. Events are recorded in news article format. One can turn to a given date in time and read articles about what was going on in Constantinople, Tikal Bangalore and Rome in that year. All matter of fact with little or no modern revisionist bias.

Unique and entertaining approach to world history
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Chronicle of the World is one of the more interesting "texts" I have ever read. It chronicles events from the begining of time to modern-day. Each page is written in newspaper headline format covering events occurring simultaneously throughout different parts of the world making reading easy and enjoyable. For the first time I can scan an historical text and get an overview of events that have occurred simultaneously throughout various regions of the globe. I would recommend this book to both the high school student as well as college student. Regardless of age, all would find Chronicle of the World very informative and entertaining.
