The Greenwood dictionary of world history by John J Butt
"This solid, accessible book is global in range, spanning "prehistory to the present day." Its clear, pithy text provides good introductions and/or fine refreshers on diverse topics "that might be of use to students" rather than encyclopedic coverage. Inclusion criteria were based on various history education standards and Advanced Placement test guidelines."- School Library Journal
