A Great Encyclopedia, A Great People, Picture, and Size.

History is the great resouces to learn from, and this Encyclopedia, as it seems to be, would help you to learn peoples from all around the world, if you still have none such as this. Then you might be the next century's people, striving the World Wide People for the World Wide Peace in the new Millennium. Wish all the best for the World! With Sincerity

Excellent, if a bit euro-centric.

This is an excellent text as an overview of the last century. Much more concentrated on the people than on politics, it provides a different approach than the other "millenium" history books.
