FREE: MICROPEDIA WORLD HISTORY

The listing, MICROPEDIA WORLD HISTORY has ended.

A millennium book with brief descriptions and explanations of major events from prehistory to the end of the 20th century. Highlights focus on culture, politics, and religion. Handy quick reference for refresher purposes or as a means of entering a complex topic or issue. For example, when seeing a reference to the Spanish Civil War as a testing ground and dress rehearsal for World War II, one could quickly get a basic understanding through two side-by-side entries: "1936 The Spanish Civil War" and "1939 Blitzkrieg." More than 200 color illustrations make the text come alive. Contents include an introduction, followed by a chronological progression from the ancient world and the middle ages through the 20th century. Ends with a glossary, author biographies, picture credits, and index. Unmarked text, printed on quality paper. From the first entry, 509 BC, "The Republic" to the last, "Sustainability," this book is invaluable as a guide to the most significant moments in the history of the world. General Editor Jeremy Black is Professor of History at the University of Exeter.
