A consumer guide is a book (or pamphlet) that advises consumers in relation to their purchases of goods and services. An almanac is an annual publication that lists a set of events in the following year, including such information as weather forecasts, farmers' planting dates, tide tables, and other data in tabular form. Celestial figures and a wide range of statistics are to be found in almanacs, including the rising and setting times of the Sun and Moon, dates of eclipses, hours of high and low tides, and dates of religious festivals. In the United States Benjamin Franklin began publishing Poor Richard's Almanack from 1733-1758, and Benjamin Banneker, a free African-American, published a number of almanacs from 1792 to 1797. History derives from Greek historia, meaning "inquiry, knowledge acquired by investigation". It is the study of the past as described in written documents, with events occurring before written records being considered prehistory. World history is generally considered a teaching topic rather than a research topic.
