The Who Was? History of the World [Manzanero, Paula K., Who HQ, Squier, Robert] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Who Was? History of the World

Review: Multiple Uses - I found this book at another bookseller but needed extra copies, hence my desertcart purchase of this title. THE WHO WAS: HISTORY of the WORLD, by Paula K. Manzanero, is my additional text with ESOL students in my zoom class. First, a reasonable cost, so that I could afford a copy for each student. Second, even though my students are adults, the format & vocabulary were sufficient w/out being too childish. Next, they & I liked the coverage of history from ancient cultures through very present events: Asia, Europe, the Americas, the USA, Africa, & the Middle East. Each event covers two pages (hence it is selective, but objectively balanced) w/a running timeline at the bottom of each page, throughout the book, of persons, discoveries, events, developments, wars...great highlights of well-known & lesser known history. I learned history I didn't know as well as perhaps my students! It helped their vocabulary, was a good change from our text, & even will be a book for them to share in their families. I myself have given it as gifts to relatives already. I think it has a potential readership that spans many ages.
Review: The History of the World deluxe edition - 9 yo great-grandson loves this book. He has a real interest in history and keeps this book at hand everyday. Great book for young minds!
