To Explain It All

Reviews / Votes

Ambitious is the author who attempts to write the history of the entire world. Equally daunting is the historiographical challenge of writing an accessible account of the production and scope of the most influential of these grand narratives. Written by a veteran educator with decades of experience teaching and developing world history curricula at the secondary school level, To Explain it All masters this challenge with verve and deft expertise. Refreshing in its clarity of writing and unflinchingly honest in its opinions, this two-volume survey will be of interest to both general readers and those who write or teach world history. -- Timothy Parsons, Professor of History and of African and African-American Studies
