highly recommended

A vast and absorbing resource, the fourth edition of The Timetables of ?History spans millennia of human history.

Unlike any other reference volume, this book gives a sweeping overview of the making of the contemporary world by mapping out at a glance what was happening simultaneously, from the dawn of history to the present day.

With nearly 100 pages of new material, including:

Recent breakthroughs in science and technology

New achievements in the visual arts and music

Milestones in religion, philosophy, and learning

The rise and fall of nations and the emergence of historical figures

Landmarks in the drama of daily life around the world

Incredibly Thorough!!!

As a University professor, I find this book invaluable. The chronology, breadth of information and layout design all combine to make it an extremely valuable tool. I would eagerly recommend it to anyone with interests or reseach requirements.


Great quick historical overview

I've just begun a "Great Books" reading plan and am using this to refresh myself on different periods. Gives a good sense of what what was happening politically, culturally and other otherwise that the author or characters may be dealing with.


time tables of history

I have an older version of the book. I just wanted one that was current. It basically covers the history of the world for the last 5000 years or recorded history. Its very easy to use for research.

Good summary of American History

I find this book very useful and, given the price, I would recomend it.
I must say however that I was very disapointed with the fact that this book is mainly focused in the US History, and less focused in Europe's (and the rest of the world) History . Centuries like XIV and XV seem to be lacking important facts.
Besides, if you want to find a date of a certain event it is not easy (there is a glossary at the end that can help you with this but it is incomplete).
Again, I do not regret buying this book but I think I was expecting something else.
