History of Most Interesting Events
Sylvester, Donald S.
Taking his daughter's homework assignment to an extreme, Donald Sylvester has created a brief but uniquely interesting chronological timeline of world history. Starting with the Big Bang and ending with 2010's worldwide recession and anticipated recovery, odd and quirky aspects hidden behind history's most famous people, wars, famines, plagues and inventions capture the attention of nearly any reader normally bored to death by the subject.
