... INTRODUCTION

Dear Reader,

The book in your hands is a cross section of history. The style in which it is written gives you much information in a few words. You will enjoy reading it whether you go cover to cover or dive straight into the subject that interests you.

I have tried to stay away from controversial issues and interpretations.

This work is meant as an appetizer. A detail might catch your interest and you might decide to earmark it as an object for further investigation.


How did I pick the highlights?
That is a very good question. In fact, my choices might differ from your preferences. You are welcome to write me about it. Here are the criteria against which I measured my picks: How much did the event or person influence future generations or our life today? How popular are they in western culture?

Underneath each term, one paragraph or two will explain why the person or event was chosen. Generally, I concentrated on world rulers and political events. Other categories, such as explorers, inventors, scientists, artists, religious leaders, etc. were saved to be covered in a future project.


Why did I write this book?
I wrote this book so you would be able to learn more about history without having to read much. Time is precious. Learning more about history, therefore, should also be brief and to the point. My motto was: Sum it up, make it short. If you can't say it on two pages, it's not worth mentioning.

Many important events and the names of most pivotal people are familiar to us, but often we don't know much more about them. Why not quiz yourself? Go to the list of contents and ask yourself, "What do I know about this person or event?" I terrorized my trusted circle of friends and put them to the test. It was amazing. You will find it interesting, fun, and useful.


Enjoy the book
The great Will Durant once said, “Most of us spend too much time on the last twenty-four hours and too little on the last six thousand years.”

Interesting, isn't it? Zoom out. Get the big picture. Have fun reading.


Best wishes,
Emerson Kent
