ISBN: 0-8160-4508-9 Language: English Description: Encyclopedia of World History explores the globe through beautiful illustrations and expertly written text. A distinguished group of academic historians has contributed and authenticated more than 6,500 A-to-Z entries that present a panorama of people, dates and events over the past 17,000 years. Special attention is given to the regions of Central and South America, Africa and Oceania- areas often omitted from history encyclopedias.

The encyclopedia recounts the stories and struggles of human society through a range of themes, including demography, agriculture, warfare, religion, government and politics, science, art, and the environment. Elaborately executed maps, along with illustrative photographs, tables and sidebars, provide a superb visual reference for high school and college students, researchers and general readers.
