Almanac of World History

I am using this as a homeschooling text for a 7th grader. The sections are compact yet comprehensive, giving a concise overview of an historical period in a geographical region. I like that it isn't euro-centric; it is filling in the gaps of my own early education!

I learned more from this book than all my history classes. It compresses the history of humans from the beginning telling facts using diagrams and maps. It tells us how the human world evolved from nothing to what it is today.

National Geographic Almanac of World History is a wonderful resource. The Chronological Chapters, Maps, Time-lines and Introductory Threads are easy to use. A very nice addition to add to your library.

Excellent work by Patricia Daniels and Stephen Hyslop for National Geographic. A great volume to have in your home

The Almanac of World History is a pricelss resource. First of all, the book now cost half of it's original price! The book is worth the oiginal $60.00 price tag. If you're looking for a book that sums up world history AND will maintain your interest, this book is for you! I find myself referring to this book countless times. This is a book that should be in every home! The book provides pictures,timelines,short dialogues and text to bring history alive! Our culture is so confined to American history. Do yourself a favor and begin to explore the history of the world. This book is a great place to start!
