- The
Timetables of History by Bernard Grun: If you want to know what
happened, who did it, and when it took place, this is the book to get. It
has no pictures, but the information presented is in very useful chronological
format. We use this as a reference when working with our TimeFrame
Timelines. (I'll have the TimeFrame Timeline available as a downloadable e-book very soon!)
- Material
World: A Global Family Portrait by Peter Menzel Want to take a
trip around the world? Material World provides an armchair tour of
thirty countries through the unique lens of one statistically average family
per country. Along with all the statistics are wonderful photos of each family
with all its possessions, plus shots of their everyday life. Though some
of the income figures are dated (the book was written in 1994), I've never
seen a more interesting introduction to world civilization.
- Western
Civilization by Jackson Spielvogel-- I used this textbook to prepare
for the Western Civilization CLEP, and I passed with no difficulty at all,
earning 6 credits toward my bachelor's degree. Western Civ is a huge topic,
and Dr. Spielvogel has done a terrific job of making it not only accessible,
but enjoyable. I recommend this book!
