All Through the Ages (ATTA) is a resource tool which spans recorded history. Basically a book list, it also includes brief but meaty introductory content for the historical eras presented.
When I purchased this book, I was using TruthQuest (liked that a lot, too) and thought that for the price, it was worth purchasing at the time to save on shipping - what a find! Not only are the booklists well-thought out and extensive, but the timelines within the book are indispensable.
One lesson learned - ancient history dates are often disputed, and this book does consider more than one option in its commentaries, but settles on some dates that may differ from a traditional textbook. This bothered me at first, but the chronology is so complete that I have used the timelines anyway, and just rounded off the BC dates before 966 (Solomon's Temple built).
This resource is inexpensive and indispensable, and I am so sold on it, I bought several copies to gift to homeschool friends!
