This book had a lot of great information about 180 things that changed the world. I think they missed a few things like the Challenger explosion and maybe left some things out - the hostage crisis part of the Iranian Revolution but overall I think they did a good job of compiling important things in history. Each entry was concise. This book would be great for background knowledge, a stepping stone to further research, a debate over what was and was not included. I liked it.
