In addition, the comprehensive index allows the reader to access material by subject matter as well as by date.

Features include:

• mini-chronologies on crucial periods, such as World War I or the American Revolution – providing extra detail on important developments.
• selected quotes from and about the famous and infamous figures in history – enlivening the text in light-hearted and unexpected ways.
• extra stimuli for further research provided by a range of Web links – suggesting the most interesting places to find out more.
