About this title

From the Back Cover:

When first published in the 1960s and 1970s, the Chronologies of World History immediately became standard reference works. Following the success of the Hutchinson revised and updated edition, this Compact Edition now offers a unique research tool in a single-volume. This book retains the breadth and authority of the larger work which was compiled by some of the best scholars of their respective periods. It is wide-ranging and accurate and covers the essential aspects of human history from 10,000 BC to the present. For each date (or range of dates in the earlier periods) the Compact Edition includes not only the key political and military events, but also themes, facts, and figures of importance in other spheres of human activity, including the arts, science, technology, discovery, philosophy, religion, media, education, and recreation.

Review:

"In today's social studies curriculum, students are no longer studying events in isolation, and this book will be of much use to students as well as teachers planning their units. Recommended highly for high school, college, and public libraries." - VOYA
