The Wall Chart of World History: From Earliest Times to the Present, Facsimile Edition

It would take a concentrated study of this worlds history timeline in order to have even a dim understanding of the multi threads of human life and progress through the centuries since our first parents, Adam and Eve, walked in the Garden of Eden - but had, in the words of an author, their first born among the thorny pricks of a fallen world. Perhaps the compilers of this tome can be given partial credit for the attempt. How accurate and successful? The many, many questions asked, and unanswered - may rate its value. It is an interesting and engrossing addition to ones home library.

This is the fourth book I have bought as I get them for fellow teachers to use. Though dated, it gives a great overview of Bible events as well as showing overlap into what was going on else where in the world. Not too worried about extent of information presented as I primarily us it to find subject matter, how it relates to other events and then go and do research to get all the facts. Appears to be out of print. Highly recommend it if you can find one.

Except that the chart ends in 1990, this is an excellent correlation of world events. We first saw this displayed along the wall of a local coffee shop - and Amazon came to the rescue. Now to find a place for it in our house! In the meantime, it can be leafed through like an ordinary coffee-table volume. Fascinating stuff, especially if you missed out on critical history courses from K-12 and majored in science or engineering (and had little time available for studying the depths of history).

I have had a copy of this in my library of decades. My daughter homeschools my grandson and called me wanting to send her my copy. Well, there was no way I was going to give mine up; so, I ordered one and had it sent to her for use. She says it is really providing a lot of historical information and will continue to be used for years to come. Everyone who is interested in history, to include religious history, needs to have a copy of this book.

This is exactly what I was looking for. It is a "Facsimile Edition" but seems high-quality and complete to me. I have seen this before, but never wanted to pay so much for it. This has expanded my understanding of many old testament events. Now, I am thrilled to be able to open the pages to the time frame of an old-testament event and see what was going on in the world at the time.

This is my first time ever to write a review. However, I believe I'm an expert on this Wall Chart of World History. My experience covers about 25 years with this Super Book on World History. The name of the Book in the original setting was (The Wall Chart). (Of world history) from earliest times to the present. This is an apt description as the pages fold out to 15.5 feet in an accordion fashion, and indeed makes a super (Wall Chart.) Most of the time you will use this wonderful book just like any book you use by just turning the pages. There's no need to fold them out.The description on the back of one of my first editions says. "14 connecting panels unfold across 40 centuries before, and 20 centuries after, Christ." In brief, the Book starts at 4004 BC and follows Ushers timeline with all the Bible characters shown as linear and their Children are all named and how long they lived and are shown also linear in the same fashion.After Noah's flood, Noah's children Shem, Ham, Japheth branch out into the different nations, and all the time line of events that follows shows the different nations below in all the expansion of those nations up until now, and my last book was up to date and shows our present time including the USA to President George W. Bush.This is my experience as I have bought as many as 30 to 40 during my 25 years of buying these wonderful books.The original printing was first published in the 1890's. My own first purchase of the printing goes back to 1989 as a reprint. That's 22 years to today, March 2011. All of my later purchases are reprinted editions since then and are known as a (facsimile edition). The quality of the pages is super, the images are super, and the coloring is super. Nothing about the quality of this book is less than super and that includes the clarity!The Truth about history is found in Bible Chronology and seems to be the closest to any form of world history. This book itself compares with the other historic timelines and calls other timelines (Exaggerated Chronologies.), and gives examples of why they are called that.My first purchases of these books were to use in teaching and to give all my family members copies and to even give a few to my grandkids schools.Everything I'll explain from here will reveal my frustrations to get my last 4 super books.All the revised additions I have up to the last were Barnes and Noble on the Jacket.I knew that the only way for me to get more of these books, I'd have to buy old used ones, I thought.* In Hawaii about a year ago I found what I thought was the books on sale again. About $9.99. I didn't ask to open the cellophane protection as I thought it was what I wanted. However, the new name was the (Time Chart) of World History. Back in Colorado I ordered about 7 since the price was right. When I went to Barnes and Noble to pick them up I was really surprised. This was not what I thought I had ordered. The pages inside were totally different. I did not purchase these. Remember the two words (Time Chart) It keeps showing up but different.* I went to Amazon who has been super working with me. I put in the old ISBN # and the Icon of the book looked like just what I wanted. I just ordered one this time, and when the book came it was used like new. The book still had the correct name on it (The Wall Chart of World History), but was updated and better. I got better than I had ordered. How often does that happen?* This next time I ordered 3 of these books, but when I saw my order, it said The (Timechart) History of the World: 6000 years of World History $25 each. I knew I didn't want the Timechart so I cancelled that order. Amazon help was just super. Remember the two words (Time Chart).This time I had an Amazon employee help me. I ordered 4 new at $29.95 each and the identifier was. (The Wallchart of World History (Revised): Form Earliest times to the Present - A Facsimile Edition) Hardcover by: Edward Hull. Just what I wanted. Here's why I'm writing this 5 star approval. You guessed it, the title on the cover is and I'm looking at it now. (The Timechart history of the World). My heart just sank. I quickly opened the first book, and it was revised to George W Bush, and it is by far the best of all the editions. I haven't tried yet, but they say this one expands to 30 ft. Yikes.You may have to order this (new) like I did. You won't regret it. It is no longer published by Barnes and Noble.New important info.Amazon did me a great job.Published by Metro BooksMetro books 122 Fifth Ave, N.Y. New York 10011ISBN - 13: 978-0-7607-6534-0Printed in China. Thanks. It was worth all the pain to get these.By the way the Icon below here looks just like my old WallCharts of World History. That is not the correct Icon. The name is different also. Be sure to use the ISBN # I gave above here. Hopefully you'll get a later Revised edition than I got. Thanks.

We have used this timeline chart a lot as we have read of different events in history. It has given us a better perspective of what was going on in the world as a whole at the time the events we read of occurred. We can expand the chart and look at it as a long chart that is about 18 feet long or we can leave it folded up and look at it as a book. It is printed on one continuous paper as thick as poster board and bound on one end as a book to the cover. It is very cleverly done and very handy. The size when closed is 11.5 in x 17.75 in x 0.5 inches.

The new publishers (Barnes and Noble) have added a disclaimer "The Victorian elements of the chart reflect prevailing knowledge and understanding and any inaccuracies reflect this: the publishers can accept no any responsibility for the accuracy of fact or interpretation throughout". The author, Professor Hull was a "young earth" guy and my earlier edition of this chart reflects this. B&N added a map of the "ancient world to c. 500 A.D." in the front that reflects millions of years which seems to be their only issue with the chart itself which is, thankfully, unaltered. B&N also added a large map legend in the front showing you how to use the chart which is helpful and is not on my earlier edition.

...von Adam und Eva bis ins 20. Jahrhundert.Wir haben in einem Pub in Dublin gesessen, wo diese Wall Chart tatsächlich an der Wand hing. Die graphische Darstellung der Entwicklungen und Niedergänge von Ländern und Regimen ist wirklich ganz besonders und wenn man sich auch nur minimal für so etwas interessiert, ist es einfach wahnsinnig spannend.Ich persönlich habe weder Politikwissenschaften, noch Geschichte oder Geographie studiert, aber es ist auch so verständlich und einfach unfassbar interessant.Wirklich beschreiben lässt sich diese Wall Chart sowieso nicht (ich hab's versucht, aber keiner weiß was man meint) - man muß sie gesehen haben (und dann sind alle begeistert).Viel Spaß damit!

An excellent comparison of all the different histories of the world that were happening at the same time, from the bible, egypt,china, europe, etc. it gives you the great perspective of the diversity of our civilization.

I got this a a gift for my boyfriend.The content of this book is beyond imaginable.It came in really good shape.
