A note for parents
This is a comprehensive world history reference covering pivotal moments across centuries, presented in an accessible entry format. Content naturally includes wars, assassinations, and disasters (like Kennedy's assassination and natural catastrophes), but presented factually rather than graphically as a reference work would. The educational value is substantial for older students learning history, though mature themes warrant a middle-grade+ audience.

In the style of the phenomenally successful 1001 series this is an essential guide and gift for anyone with a passion for history. History is more than a chain of stiring moments, yet without the high noons our world would be much duller, and much harder to engage with, or recall. Selected from a vast expanse of time, 1001 DAYS THAT SHAPED THE WORLD is a history of the world, told through key moments, decisive encounters, memorable incidents and dreadful disasters, whether triggered by human action or brought about by nature.
