Review: Great combination of little known and popular history. I kept it by the bed as late night reading and often stayed up for hours since the next page always held something interesting. Don't even think of putting this in the bathroom as your family and guests will disappear. Only criticism - and it's a minor one - is that I got tired of all the (born and died) dates which were repeated every time someone was mentioned. A superficial - but super - reference book.

Summary: Very Informative
Review: This book gives you all the answers about almost anything you can imagine. From Drouts in the United States to who the ForeFathers of the United States were. I am always looking for new information, and always wanting my mind to grow, so this was a great book.

In the very beginning it has a Timeline of World events which is very "Handy." It has information on wars I had never heard of, and plenty of information on Adolf Hitler, certaintly not my favorite person, but for writing a report on World War II, it was very nice to have around.

I got this for Christmas, and started reading it that night, so you go out and get this book tonight.

Summary: How Cool!
Review: This book is perfect for anyone who has a lot of questions about history! Everything is here including a break down of world history from the beginning to present day! It is fun to read and a great reference book. A college student must have (especially if you are a history major) and for anyone who is interested in history at all!
