Excellent companion reference book for my in-depth historical studies (further understanding of world situation as I focus on Europe). Thank you.

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.Read full review
