WE ALL REMEMBER SITTING THROUGH HOURS OF BORING HISTORY
CLASSES TRYING TO REMEMBER BY ROTE DATES AND EVENTS DEEMED
NECESSARY BY SCHOOLS OF THE PAST.  AFTER ALL WAS SAID AND DONE,
WE COULD RECALL LITTLE MORE THAN THE BATTLE OF HASTINGS OR
COLUMBUS'S DISCOVERY OF AMERICA --  NOT VERY PRODUCTIVE FOR 12
YEARS OF STUDY.

NOW, A NEW METHOD:  THE WORLD HISTORY CHART.  FROM IT, I
OBTAINED MORE NET BENEFIT IN TWO WEEKS THAN FROM YEARS OF SO-
CALLED EDUCATIONAL HISTORICAL ENLIGHTENMENT.  AND, IT'S ALL
AVAILABLE ON ONE COMPREHENSIVE COLOR-CODED CHART:  6,000 YEARS
OF THE HISTORY OF MANKIND, AVAILABLE AT A GLANCE.

A PICTURE OF THIS CHART IS SHOWN UNDER "ILLUSTRATIONS".  NOT ONLY
IS EVERYTHING CHRONOLOGICALLY DISPLAYED, BUT THE CHART ALSO
INDICATES EVENTS ELSEWHERE ON THE GLOBE WHEN THE ROMAN EMPIRE
WAS AT ITS HEIGHT, AND WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN CHINA WHEN
EUROPEANS WERE STILL IN CAVES.  IT CONTAINS NAMES AND EVENTS
FROM DOCUMENTED HISTORY, ARCHAEOLOGY, THEOLOGY AND MYTHOLOGY
DATING FROM 4000 B.C.

PERHAPS THE PERSPECTIVE THIS PICTORIAL DISPLAY PROVIDES IS ITS
MOST VALUABLE FEATURE.  THE CHART LENDS A SENSE OF THE
PANORAMA GRANDE  OR "BIG PICTURE" SO HARD TO GRASP FROM THE
DUSTY PAGES OF HISTORY BOOKS.  TODAY, DETAILS OF ANY OF THE
MOMENTOUS HISTORICAL EVENTS ARE ACCESSIBLE, VIA COMPUTER
MODEM, FROM ELECTRONIC ENCYCLOPEDIAS THAT INSTANTLY PROVIDE
FAR MORE THAN YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW.  THUS, THROUGH THE USE
OF THIS CHART AND TODAY'S MODERN COMMUNICATIONS, THE PAST
TAKES ON MORE MEANING AND PROVIDES A MORE COMPREHENSIVE
FOUNDATION FOR PLANNING THE FUTURE.

AND IT ALL CAN BE DONE FROM THE HOME!
