内容简介 Amazon.com
This handy little reference reads like a virtual who's who of world history. Whether you want to know the date Napoleon died or just the names of some of Chekhov's most famous plays, you'll find what you're looking for in this book's pocket-sized pages. More than 7,000 entries chronicle the lives, deaths, and achievements of historical figures from Attila the Hun to Andy Warhol, including major works, prizes won, and principalities conquered. There's even a pronunciation guide to help make sure you don't suavely drop that reference to the work of Mies van der Rohe, then make his first name rhyme with "skies."

Book Description

A Perfect Three-Dollar Book, Mar 16 2002
Reviewer: August McCarthy (Virginia)
You couldn't ask more of a book that fits into a shirt pocket. Thousands of entries with pronunciations, dates, and even parts of speech. For instance, if you might want to describe someone as Comtian, then you'll not only know what Comte did and when he did it, but you'll also know how to spell the adjective. History is swarming with too many figures to remember; it's nice to have them all handy. Did I mention how cheap the book is?
