Looking for a Book - Historum

picosam · July 22nd, 2012, 09:22 AM

Dear all,

I'm looking for a global world history book that relates events to each other according to time, and NOT according to place. So I wouldn't want it to be structured by geographically-oriented chapters. The center of story is the time, and what's happening everywhere in the world during that moment. I hope I'm properly explaining what I mean.

Is this the kind of thing you're looking for?

Amazon.com: Timelines of World History (9780789489265): John Teeple: Books

I am not familiar with Teeple's book but it seems to be organized the same as:

Amazon.com: The Timetables of History: A Horizontal Linkage of People and Events (9780743270038): Bernard Grun, Eva Simpson: Books

A book I have found very useful.
It's by Touchstone Books
isbn 0-671-74272-X

It is almost the same but has loads of photos and illustrations in it.

Grun and Simpson has a lot more events and detail in it and I would recommend that one for more serious study.
