Review: Very good.  Nice brief timelines by year.  Formatting could be better.

This is just what I wanted.  A quick way to view major events in world history by year.  The navigation and search capabilities of this Kindle item are good.  There is an active TOC which helps.What would qualify this for a 5-star rating?  The descriptions following each year are all in one paragraph.  So for example, in year 1756, the description includes stuff that took place in the Americas and in India with the British.  My suggestion would be to separate events within each year by paragraphs.  That would make this much more easier to read.For the price, navigation, and contents this is a great deal and deserving of 4.5 stars.  If you want a handy, quick review of world events at your fingertips this is great.  Well worth the price.
