The World'S Great Events; An Indexed History Of The World From Earliest Times To The Present Day (Volume X) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789354306167)

An indexed map of humanity's turning points. A compass for curious minds. Esther Singleton's The World's Great Events (Volume X) organises dates, contexts and cross-references into a practical world history anthology and an indexed history book that invites both quick consultation and sustained reading. Entries place major world events on a coherent global historical timeline, and the work provides an early civilizations overview alongside measured treatments of modern world history, so readers may watch civilization milestones unfold in sequence. More than a name on a shelf, it functions as a historical compendium and a reliable historical reference collection, balancing narrative clarity with reference utility. Its index and cross-references reward comparative reading across regions and eras, guiding users from one entry to the next without losing context. The economy of entry makes it useful for casual readers, an essential history students resource, and a flexible component in a homeschool history curriculum; teachers and independent learners will find it straightforward to incorporate into study. At the same time, its standing as one volume in a broader multi-volume history set will appeal to classic-literature collectors and to those who assemble period references as part of a curated library. The volume's method - stitching events into linked entries rather than a single uninterrupted narrative - is central to its literary and historical significance, offering an early model of how a compendium can marry accessibility with archival ambition. Readers consulting it for research will value the consistent headings and cross-references that link events by theme; lay readers can dip into entries without specialist knowledge. The tone is measured and impartial, favouring factual clarity over partisan argument and helping the volume endure as both a study aid and a readable chronicle. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
