Wow!, October 11, 2001
This review is from: The Wall Chart of World History: From Earliest Times To The Present (Hardcover)
In writing my own book on biblical prophecy I found THIS book more helpful than any chart I've ever seen. No, it's not about prophecy. It's all about history, but its method of laying out parallel streams and branches for every major nation on earth made it one of the best resources I've had for capturing in a glance all the major events that happened in any given year all the way back to about 4000 B.C. And it's fun! You get intrigued and want to look around and see what was happening in other countries at the time you're interested in or what happened in the century before or after. It starts you exploring the past. When you're reading about a particular time, you can flip to the chart and get a view of what was happening in the rest of the world at that time. Now my favorite resource.

A Clear View of World History, November 20, 1997
This review is from: The Wall Chart of World History: From Earliest Times To The Present (Hardcover)
This large (12" x 18") book will leave you awestruck at our world's history. Between it's covers lies a 15 foot wall chart that represents historic time from the creation of the world to, as current as, 1990. Every fact is presented synchronologically and by equal lengths of time. The "stream of time" from the creation of man, flows through the accordion style pages with every King, Emperor, Ruler, civilization, nation, and territory carefully represented with exact names, dates and corresponding historical information. Other features that are included are Maps of the World's Great Empires and a Complete Geological Diagram of the Earth. But, the best part, is the hundreds of illustrations and snippets of historical facts set within the very pages of this amazing time line. Lists of battles, treaties, great events, chronologies, wonders of the world, art and literature...and this is literally just a few of the many, many educational gems that you will discover in this great visual representation of our world's fantastic history. Clearly illustrated, factually correct, and a beautiful addition to anyone's private library with it's marbleized hardback cover.

Outstanding! One can unroll/unfold history on the living room carpet from Adam and Eve to the latest American president at the time of the printing.
