Framed by historical markers that give perspective to the time periods, the subjects range from philosophers to scientists, historians to poets, statesmen to storytellers.Starting with the foundational topics in The Great Books of Western Civilization, by Mortimer J. Adler and Robert Maynard Hutchins, this extensive work adds even more entries, while framing them all within historical events that provide additional depth and context.
