Book Description
All things must pass. In an understatement of historic proportions, quite a few things have passed since the end of the last millennium, when The Handy History Answer Book was first released. A new era has taken shape, and a fully-revised edition of The Handy History Answer Book records it with more than 150 new questions and answers that expand on the more than 1,000 covering past millennia. A concise guide to all things historical, Handy History addresses people, times, and events in a wide-ranging and comprehensive manner, complemented by more than 125 illustrations and, for those who like their history instant, a chronology of major events.

Beginning with a section on historical eras, this popular reference source tracks history with obsessive zeal and tight editing. The Handy History Answer Book organizes information in thirteen specific subject sections ranging from politics to war to science to religion. It tackles exploration and settlement, technological advances, legal fireworks, financial and business events, social movements, natural and man-made disasters, medicine and disease, and art and culture. Along the way you'll meet a cast of thousands, including Socrates (an early advocate of the question-and-answer format) and Plato, Elvis Presley, and Thomas Edison, four guys who'd be real fun together at a dinner party. The Handy History Answer Book is a fingertip, time-traveling guide through the pages of history.
