Encyclopedia of world history

A thoroughly informative and accessible guide to world history for all ages; I have been using it for three years now as a text book for many private pupils who have finally been turned onto history after the English National Curriculum has left them befuddled or bored! Highly detailed and credible artwork is a hit too.
