The series itself contains many unique and interesting features, including a wide range of primary and secondary source quotations that richly supplement the fascinating narratives in each volume. The quotations range from unusual anecdotes to farsighted cultural perspectives and are drawn from historical witnesses both past and present. Most important of all, the World History Series is designed both to acquaint readers with the basics of history and to make them aware that their lives and their own historical era are an intimate part of the ongoing human saga.
