Kada, gdje, zašto i kako se dogodilo : najdramatičniji povijesni događaji i kako su promijenili svijet

by Asa Briggs, Hrvoje Potrebica (Translator)

Povijesna knjiga koncentrirana na stotinu najvećih svjetskih događaja koji sežu od početaka pisane povijesti u starom svijetu do 2004. godine. Izabrani događaji prezentirani su slikom i rječju, a opisani su na dva načina: prvo onako kako su ih doživjeli suvremenici, a nakon toga onako kako su ih poslije interpretirali povjesničari. Tako saznajemo kada, gdje, zašto i kako se nešto dogodilo te nam se pokazuje kako su te promjene utjecale na svjetski razvoj. Osim izabranih događaja, u posebno izdvojenim cjelinama prikazani su i povijesni procesi koji donose promjene u ljudskim životima uočljive jedino kroz duga vremenska razdoblja (npr. industrijalizacija). U dodatku su vremenske tablice za svaki kontinent posebno, u kojima su događaji opisani u knjizi stavljeni u širi kontekst dugog povijesnog puta, na kojem uz njih srećemo i 3000 drugih važnih događaja. Postoji kazalo.

I absolutely love this book. It was always an interesting one on my grandads bookshelf, and when he passed away I was ucky enough to have it passed down to me to care for. It is very concise, easy to follow, explained simply, but extremely detailed too without feeling like you are overloading with information. It is one of the many books which helped me on the way to eventually study History at University. It's obviously not up to date now, but still, is a good read for the main facts regarding popular historical topics.

What a wonderful book! Full of useful and interesting information - a lot of which I just never knew!
The only way it could be improved is to add maps ... why do books like this NOT have maps????
