Debbie from ChristFocus Book Club5 Stars Out Of 5August 31, 2010Debbie from ChristFocus Book Club"Adams' Chart of History" is a full-color timeline chart based on James Ussher's chronology. It's 28 inches tall and folds out nearly 23 feet. In the bound form, you can view the chart without unfolding it by turning the "pages" (the panels). The chart is printed on a heavy paper, so it holds up well to repeated use. You can also remove the chart from the binding or buy an unbound chart to put on a wall, like in a Sunday School room. The large panels are great for easy viewing on a wall, but they're a tad unwieldy when trying to view the chart when holding it. It helps to have a cleared table or bed to place it on.The timeline shows world history from a Biblical perspective, starting with Adam and Eve. It shows the rulers and major events for all the major world civilizations up to 1878 AD. There are illustrations of the various events (like the Tower of Babel) and commentary in the free spaces. In the free space below the beginning of the timeline, there's a world map of the eastern hemisphere and information about Stone Age artifacts, eminent historians throughout history, the Rosetta stone, and similar topics.There's a 64-page booklet packaged with the chart. It gave a key to the chart, though I'd already figured it out from a few minutes study of the chart. It also gave information about the author and summaries of the people and events on the timeline for each major world civilization.There's a very similar timeline published by Barnes and Nobles in 1995 titled "The Wall Chart of World History" by Edward Hull (ISBN 0-88029-239-3). It's smaller in size (15 panels that are each 12 inches wide x 17 5/8 inches high), so the text is smaller but it's also easy to hold and carry around. That chart ends in 1990 AD instead of 1878 AD.I'd recommend this chart to any Christian who enjoys seeing how the events in world history relate to each other and to teachers (church or homeschooling) for use in their classrooms.

Anne EnglishMadison, WIAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5December 3, 2012Anne EnglishMadison, WIAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This is exactly what I've been looking for although it is larger than I imagined. There is a great timeline beginning with Creation and continuing through Biblical history coordinated with secular world history. It is nice that it is not a scroll but folded into book form. You can open the entire chart at once or just look page by page.

RochelleBallston Lake, NYAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Puts the puzzle of time into perspectiveMay 4, 2011RochelleBallston Lake, NYAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This timeline shows the most important points in history in a way that actually makes sense! Instead of mixing history from different parts of the world into one line, the lines are parallel to each other, so you can see what's going on in different parts of the world at the same time, yet retain the context and progression of each major culture's unique history. Only the first 100 years of U.S. history is shown, so this is clearly world history, however, the fact that U.S. history is just a smidgen of time compared to the rest of the world also enhances perspective.
