内容説明
This wide-ranging dictionary contains a wealth of information on all aspects of history, from prehistory right up to the present day. Over 4,000 clear, concise entries include biographies of key figures in world history, seperate entries for every country in the world (summarising key historical events), and subject entries on religious and political movements, international organizations, and key battles and places. This new edition of the dictionary has been thoroughly updated to cover recent changes in world affairs. It includes new biographies for recent key figures (e.g. Vladimir Putin, Benedict XVI ), updated biographies for other major figures (e.g. Tony Blair), and the addition of recent major events and their after-effects (including the Orange Revolution and the 2004 tsunami). The book also contains twenty-five detailed maps linked to key historical events and topics. These include the African slave trade, the Black Death, and the Normandy campaign. Encyclopedic in scope, this ambitious dictionary provides an excellent overview of world history both for students and the general reader.

It does exactly what it says on the cover

It's a good quick reference guide to world history. Brilliant for reminding yourself off or looking for the basic information on a famous/important person, place or event in history.
As per usual Oxford books well published and researched and this one is a brilliant brief guide to the history of the world.
In simple it does exactly what it says on the cover. A dictionary of world history.

An excellent dictionary of world history, current to 2003

I suppose that this book will be updated by Oxford within the next three years, based on its past practices, at least with popular dictionaries.
It is great fun to read through this book, even at random, just to find one of the 4,500 plus entries that pique one's interest, that describes some event that is totally new -- even if it occurred a thousand years ago.
It would be great if this book were on a Kindle or available as an affordable online personal resource; but so far as I can tell from searching the Oxford catalogs, they simply don't exist. Instead, I'm now in the habit of emailing myself the names of people or events new to me, and then reading the hard copy at home. That often gives me more information, or at least more leads, than I can find online from Wikipedia or other Google searches.
There is still a place for anyone who loves reading about history for a collection of carefully edited, high quality references like this one. And, so far, there is no substitute for the joys of serendipity, of just paging through the book and finding new areas of inquiry.
Thank goodness for both gifts from Oxford. :)

This book is a great resource book filled with all kinds of interesting information about countless important figures in history! It's interesting to just flip through the book and read about people, or you can look up someone specific.
