Asimov's Chronology of the Worldby Isaac Asimov
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:From the world's greatest science writer, a history of the world from the big bang to 1945, told in irresistible short takes and highlighted by a timeline. Same easy-to-use format as Asimov's Chronology of Science and Discovery.
Book News Annotation:Asimov is nothing if not ambitious but this is a mind-boggler even
from him--simply a chronological history of the universe (mainly the
earth) from 15,000,000,000 years ago (the big bang) to 1945 (the end
of WWII). It describes events that occurred all around the
globe--first evolutionary, then cultural, political, military,
social, and technological developments--within specific time frames.
