A chronology within each section provides ready reference. Each volume includes a glossary of terms, suggestions for further reading, and an index. Earliest Times to 1 BC Volume 2. AD 1 to 1492 Volume 3. Colorful maps and crisp photographs of artifacts are useful and attractive.
Timelines appear throughout the books.
The full-color illustrations add to the visual appeal of the set. A nice feature of this set is that by following the world maps throughout the volumes, it is possible to get a global view of history and the many events that occurred simultaneously. As Social Studies curricula embrace history from a more global perspective, it is important that libraries also expand their collections.
