Handy pocket reference

This little book serves as a historical outline from the first civilizations to the present time. It is catalogued by year, with sections within each year devoted to major developments in art, science, politics, etc. By no means a comprehensive history on its own, it is an invaluable tool to use when reading other historical works: it places events and developments in their proper context. Highly recommended as a reference tool.
