I was able to read much of the material, from start to finish in about an hour or so. There is quite a bit more information from the past right up to recently if you wish to spend more time. Just before I quit the session I did the "put in your year of birth to find out what happened then" & found even more detailed information. I could spend hours & hours here but, alas, I have people to see, places to go & only so much time to spend on this. The content is excellent. I would recommend some spellchecking...The history presented here is interesting & easy to read. Most high school & college students will understand & enjoy this site. Teachers might find it useful material as they could present parts of it in their own presentations. There is really no math here which makes it even easier for me to follow! All in all, I found the experience to be positive and informative.

online magazine, which contains entertaining, and meaningful information. In
the future, I will return to this site for research or just for leisure.
The quality of content is very rich. It has diverse topics, which will gain
the readers? interest. The design of the website is approachable and visually
pleasant and easy on the eyes for long periods of time.
This website is a good source for research, from beginners to advanced
learners.
The site presents a heavy load of information in relaxing design, and gives an
impression of its conventionality and practicality.
The ease of visiting the website is excellent because of its simultaneous
professionalism and comfortable settings. The site is the collaborative work of
people, and involves international linking. The first time users should more
likely bookmark this website, in order to visit there again for their
educational purpose or personal agendas.
