Accompanied by hundreds of illustrations and maps, the chosen events give insight into how and why our world has grown and changed.

A reader can open this book anywhere and find fascinating tidbits of history embellished with quick-read biographies, first-person accounts, and landmark paintings and photos. 1000 Events is sure to be a perennial backlist book, with its well-researched information appealing to readers of all ages.
