But in reality the events in history are decidedly interconnected. Foster realized this, and she has written a collection of world history books that illuminates the story of history far better than most history books I've read.įoster's Word books have been used and loved by educators for decades. Other history textbooks tend to present history in isolation, detailing the happenings of a particular region or civilization by itself, ignoring the influence of events occurring in other parts of the world at the same time. Her horizontal approach to history - exploring the events around the world in a specific range of time instead of following only one civilization - makes the story of history all the more real and memorable for readers. Written for both children and adults in the mid-1900's, Genevieve Foster's set of World books are perhaps my favorite history books on our shelf.
