"This is a great reference to world history. The vast majority of the book is timeline split up into four sections (Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas/Australia) with summaries at the front of every major section. It is very clear why ceratin things are important and it's easy to see what's happening in around the world at any given time. It's super easy to make the connections between important events that sometimes people don't see because their don't view the world as one single entitiy, they see it as several disconnected sections."
""Timelines of the World is a must have reference for every household. This huge book summarizes each period of history from the prehistoric world to the modern day. Each period (early humanity, the advent of agriculture, early civilizations, the early classical age, the renaissance, the Cold War, and many other periods) is divided into a separate chapter which includes a map labelled with important aspects of that part of history and timeline entries for Asia, Africa, Europe, Australasia, and the Americas as well as short illustrated articles and entries describing important aspects of that time period from architecture through artifacts and famous individuals.
Timelines of the World will remain an important reference in my home for a very long time. I found the entries interesting and very relevant. I was thoroughly impressed that the timelines actually showed what was happening on each continent during each of these periods. Too often, history references focus on specific cultures during specific events and never really show what was happening elsewhere at the time. I was also pleased that the timelines were broken into reasonable amount of time (usually between 10 and 25 year periods) so that a good deal of detail could be provided on each of these tables."
"I bought this book when it was out in hardcover. This is, I think, my favorite history book. There are pages that fold out, but the best thing about this book is that it has the history of the whole world, not just Europe, but also Africa, the Americas (before anyone had sailed over here), and Australia to name just the few that I can remember right now. And it lists them all side-by-side, so if you want to see what happened in Africa during the time when Elizabeth I was Queen, then it shows you right on the page."
