註釋
The world-famous reference that tells who did what when from 4500 BC to the present day—now updated for the 21st century.
“A unique, encyclopedic book—rewarding, informative, entertaining.” —
The Wall Street Journal
A vast and absorbing resource, the fourth edition of

-Recent breakthroughs in science and technology
-New achievements in the visual arts and music
-Milestones in religion, philosophy, and learning
-The rise and fall of nations and the emergence of historical figures
-Landmarks in the drama of daily life around the world
