ereks mom Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) I need a book that has concise-but-thorough chronological coverage of events, especially those in the Americas, Europe, and Asia. I want it to be in narrative form with some illustrations--not charts like the HyperHistory website, and not the DK-type books that are mostly pictures with captions. The audience would be high school students who read on a middle school level. What do you have for me? :D Edited October 24, 2012 by ereks mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 We supplemented Sonlight 300 (old) with Martin Gilbert's series of books about the 20th cent. This is a more concise, all-in-one by him that I haven't seen, but I think it's based on the books we used. I just used the separate books for the teen decades, the 20s and the 30s. He's British, and easy to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
