Description
Book Introduction
This is an introductory book to world history written by a mother who was a professor to show her children that 'history is this easy and fun.'
This book, written in a narrative style as if told to a child every night under the covers, presents the fascinating history of mankind in simple and concise English sentences.
This is the best text of our time, allowing readers to acquire both English reading skills and liberal arts knowledge, by clearly explaining important issues in world history, from nomads to the Roman Empire, from Caesar to Mandela, in English at the level of an American first-grade elementary school student.
Only Bauer, an author who majored in literature and history, can convey complex world history so simply and clearly in easy-to-read English sentences.
In the United States, it has been adopted as a history textbook not only by homeschooling families but also by elementary schools, and is evaluated as a '21st century classic.'

It consists of eight volumes, two each in the order of ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary times, and each volume includes 100% original text and original audio files.
The appeal of this book lies in its unique English dictionary and historical commentary.
At a reading level of around 5.0, essential words for reading the original text are selected and unique meanings are provided, so that they are firmly imprinted in your mind after reading them just once.
The other is an easily understandable explanation of world history.
In line with the Korean curriculum, the parts missing from the original book were filled in with helpful explanations.
This is a form of applying the memorization stage of the Trivium, which the author calls the proper study method, to the book: memorization (grammar), logic (logic), and expression (rhetoric).
