I was interested in a previous post that questioned the ability of a runner to cover "50 leagues or 175 miles per day," and discovered that an Ancient Roman league is equivalent to 2.22 km; therefore, 50 leagues would approximate 111 km or 68.93 miles - presumably a distance entirely possible for a top athlete of the day. Fascinating, huh?
This book is an excellent resource for students.
Rating: - A comprehensive and accurate account of world history
This extraordinarily well written book contains every essential fact with which we all need to be familiar. No other book on the market offers so much information at such a low price.

Rating: - An excellent resources for teachers and students
As a high school history teacher, I have found this book to be an excellent resource for lecture notes. It includes specific and detailed information to illustrate significant historical periods and events that I have not found anywhere else. For example, the section on the Renaissance contains facinating detail on the role of women and Africans in Europe at that time. I have also loaned this book to students because the authors clearly outline the "so what" of historical events.
