The People's Chronology

The People's Chronology goes beyond the wars, treatises, and political events readily found in traditional history resources to cover science, technology, medicine, literature, music, theater, the arts, architecture, and more. Entries span from prehistory through 2004, with almost every year covering 33 standard subject categories. Read more about the series in the preface.
