Asimov's Chronology of the World

by Isaac Asimov

Asimov's Chronology of the World Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher 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. For reference or browsing.

Synopsis:

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.
