chiguirre Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 IMHO, the Egyptian courses by Bob Brier are the most interesting but I've enjoyed so many of them. Now that T is older she's become a fan too so I'll be revisiting a lot of the highlights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufus Fears is also a great history storyteller for ancient Greece and Rome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimmermom3 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 We've been pleased with so many of our Great Courses for history, but Elizabeth Vandiver and Robert Bucholz are some of our favorites. Some of the reviews for the professor for the Renaissance and Reformation course were poor, but I enjoyed him and I thought the material was quite good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 A history resource that we found (and continue to find) quite useful was Bernard Grun's The Timetables of History: A Horizontal Linkage of People and Events.

SilverMoon Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 The FundaFunda American history schedule has been a huge hit in our house. The GC lectures, Johnson spine, DVD recommendations, all of it. More generally, the GC lecture series. Fabulous resource. Between these, the portion of a world history textbook, and a pile of related literature, it's easy peasy to build solid courses. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Kareni You will only be able to pry that resource from my cold dead hands. I also agree with Prof Vandiver and Prof Fears. ETA: The Well Trained Mind. Without it, and this forum, I would not have known where to begin (and have it meaningful). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so glad you're enjoying it, Taryn! (Recommending books reminds me a bit of recommending restaurants -- I might enjoy sushi, but what if you're looking for a good Italian restaurant?)
