Abstract From the founding of Rome to the twenty-first century's war on terror, History Day by Day presents an original perspective on over two millennia of human history through the medium of 366 quotations that offer a window in the past. Each is tied to a momentous occasion, bringing it to life with eyewitness accounts and a chronicler's flair. Here is Joan of Arc, Julius Caesar, Galileo and Gandhi, as well as revolutions and discoveries, the joyful and the grief-stricken. Furtado places events in context, resulting in an instructive and entertaining panorama of world history.
