Title: Helpful for cross-cultural linkages
Product review: This book is extremely useful to find what happened in a given period across many cultures. It's a great starting point for any investigation of what happened. However, important occurrences (such as Woodrow Wilson having a stroke) are sometimes left out and there is no differentiation of history-changing events from a fashion change (bold type for history-changing events would be nice -- of course, that is a decision each historian has to make, but on many there is general agreement).But, I invariably go to this book to find what other books (British history, German history, Japanese history) I should consult as a starting point. Also, sometimes it is very useful to find that certain personalities have the same birth date or birth year.
