Review # 1 was written on 2008-02-20 00:00:00 Tom Doherty This is definitely a reference book. Each 2-page spread shows world events over a time period (hundreds or tens of years in ancient history, a decade in more modern times). There are also 2-page spreads devoted to particular events, like the French Revolution. I find it fascinating to compare what was going on in one part of the world to what was going on in the other. We usually study Western Civilization without checking in with the East. There were entire African civilizations that I'm sure you've never heard of. Thorough, for kids or adults, great little illustrations throughout.
