Dorling Kindersley History of the World

More about the book

Approaching history from an international perspective, this book - organized chronologically - uses a continuous timeline to make the passage of time and events accessible and clear. The book is divided into 20 chapters, each opening with a world map, and an illustrated timechart highlighting the events of that period, so that the reader is able to see at a glance what was happening simultaneously across five continents. Maps, charts, artefacts and photographs are used throughout.
