World History For Dummies (2nd edition) by Peter Haugen
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.1 mb
Overview: If history scares you or bores you silly, that’s probably because a teacher once required you to memorize a bunch of dates – when things like the Magna Carta and the Versailles Treaty were signed, for example. Admittedly, dates are a big part of history, but only because historical events happened in a certain order. If Columbus hadn’t sailed the ocean blue in fourteen hundred and ninety-two, the Mayflower Pilgrims might not have looked west for a place to practice their Puritan religion almost 130 years later. The eventual outcome? No day-after-Thanksgiving mob scenes at the mall. So you may be asking, “How can a 330-page book cover the complete history of the world?” The short answer is that it can’t. To cover thousands of years in one book would be impossible. What is possible is a skimming of the surface of world history, which is what you’ll find in World History For Dummies. This book provides a fun and friendly overview of the history of the world, providing glimpses into the major players and events that have made the world what it is today.
