World History - Big Bang to TODAY

Upvote:1

I know of only one resource that has close to the scope and detail you are looking for: Colin McEvedy's series of Penguin Atlases. I'd suggest starting with the one for Africa and the Near East Ancient History one. You can then move up in time with the followup Near Eastern volumes and/or branch out in area with the North American and Pacific ones.

It probably sounds pretty daunting, but they are all relatively cheap paperbacks, and his writing style makes them real page-turners. I just wish he could have made volumes for India and South America before he died.

There are some other Atlases of World history floating around, but none are nearly as complete.
