This anthology series focuses on the momentous events that changed the course of human history -- from major political upheavals to more gradual evolutions of human social history. Each book presents a collection of engaging essays edited and structured to enhance their accessibility. An introduction places the pivotal event in its historical context. Each subsequent essay is preceded by a precise summary of the author's main points.

"There's a lot of material packed in here, but the brief annotation and summary of each article will help students decide where they want to start their research or reading. An appendix of primary source documents brings in the voices of the time."
-- Booklist (Febraury 2000)
