Here is a valuable overview of world history, from the eighteenth to twentieth centuries, including the French, American and Industrial revolutions.
Kovacs chooses pertinent stories to create a rich tapestry that shows the development of humankind, from medieval timeswhen every person had a fixed place in the social hierarchyto the awakening of individuality in modern times.
In the Waldorf curriculum, this period of history is usually taught in class 8 (ages 13-14).
