3 out of 5 stars Good summary of American History.......2007-06-28

I find this book very useful and, given the price, I would recomend it.
I must say however that I was very disapointed with the fact that this book is mainly focused in the US History, and less focused in Europe's (and the rest of the world) History . Centuries like XIV and XV seem to be lacking important facts.
Besides, if you want to find a date of a certain event it is not easy (there is a glossary at the end that can help you with this but it is incomplete).
Again, I do not regret buying this book but I think I was expecting something else.

5 out of 5 stars Incredibly Thorough!!!.......2007-02-22

As a University professor, I find this book invaluable. The chronology, breadth of information and layout design all combine to make it an extremely valuable tool. I would eagerly recommend it to anyone with interests or reseach requirements.

2 out of 5 stars Difficult to use.......2007-01-31

I found this timetable difficult to use. When the description called it encyclopedic they must have been talking about its size and weight. One might find it informative to just thumb thru and see what was happening in different areas of the world at different time. But to use the book to trace a particular development (like "movable type," or "domesticated dairy animals,") or to compare progressive periods of history between civilizations (like Central and South America, China, or Egypt) is awkward with lots of bookmarks and notes.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent resource.......2007-01-10

I am a writer and have found this book to be an excellent resource. I want to be sure that dates and events that I might mention in my writing are correct and this book is easy to use and insures that my work is correct. Great book.

5 out of 5 stars An indespensable book.......2007-01-09

You'll use it your whole life, finding a date in time when a multitude of discoveries and events occurred, linking them to something personal that happened to you or a friend on that day. Timetables of History will put it all in perspective for you. I highly recommend it as a key reference for your library.

5 out of 5 stars The Timetables of History.......2001-12-30

As a writer and teacher, this book has been very helpful. It helps make connections between different events in different parts of the world. This has been especially helpful for me when planning units of study for children of all ages. It helps expand the study to a variety of interest areas.
The book is also helpful when reading as I often look up the particular time span and find out what else was going on at that time. For example, the year I was born, 1945 was the year that Vitamin A was synthesized, that Carousel played in New York, that Frank Lloyd Wright designed the Guggenheim Museum and that George Orwell wrote the Animal Farm. These connections make the reading so much more interesting and expansive. These connections have been especially helpful for the children. A really handy reference book. I have another copy.

4 out of 5 stars Good book, and helpful for any research........1999-03-26

This book illustrates very clearly how different events affected or started parts of history. It divides it up into sections such as political, religion, music, arts, and daily life. It proceeds to list all of the events that occured at that time period, or as mostly used per year. This book is a very helpful tool for a research project, or if you just want to brush up on your history.
