Description:

Whether you want to celebrate James Dean's birthday or commemorate the first transatlantic flight, this almanac of world history will let you know what happened when. Month by month and day by day, A Dictionary of Dates gives anniversaries for everything from major historical events to birthdays (and death dates) of the famous. There's also an index for looking up people and events; a list of dates for important scientific developments; names and term dates of prime ministers and presidents; and a chronology of world history that's simply staggering in its scope. Compiled by the editor of the London Observer's weekly dates column, A Dictionary of Dates is an invaluable reference for teachers, writers, or Web publishers--anyone who wants to put the daily grind into historical perspective. Make it your breakfast companion and you'll never lack for carpool conversation.
