Salem Press's Great Events series is a far-reaching view of history, organized around significant events. It is ideal for public and undergraduate libraries and is widely used in high schools for specific curriculum support. Great Events from History is a multivolume series detailing the most significant events in world history. Librarians and reviewers alike praise this series for its breadth of content and extended essays. The series includes articles that are typically 2-3 pages in length, bridging the gap between full-length, scholarly studies and the shortened forms found in encyclopedias. Within each set events are arranged chronologically, forming a time line without regard to region. Students can trace world history comparatively, with events in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas co-mingled. Appendixes include a time line, a glossary, website listings a chronology, and four indexes: geographical, categorized, personage, and subject. In addition, each essay is cross-referenced to other essays within the set as well as to relevant essays in the companion series, Great Lives from History.
