    I am looking for a book ( or books) that I can use for a spine for written narrations that I can add other reading or research to for a world history program of my own design.  I know I’m reinventing the wheel, but I can’t find the perfect thing for my 10th grade son.  Anyone have an idea?

    Susan Wise Bauer wrote some high school/adult history books pretty recently. I have not read them so I cannot recommend them, but they might be worth looking into.

    Other than that, I don’t know. I have looked for the same thing but have been unsuccessful in finding that perfect book. Right now we are using Diana Waring cd’s and textbooks to tie everything together. I love then but would still like something more.

    I’d try looking at what Heritage History has.

    I second Nebby. They have many books that have been divided by topic, reading level, etc. We use lots of them for our history selections.

    We went with Winston Churchill for our spine.

    Bauer has the three new books so far, with good coverage of non-European histories. Documented history approach. I am still reading reviews on it. Looks promising in being even-handed. Definitely High school/adult material. May need previewing at some areas.

    For a distinctly Christian approach: Streams of Civilization Vol. 1 and 2: http://cathyduffyreviews.com/history-geography/streams-of-civilization.htm

    Winston Churchill’s  Look at Ambleside for more info.

    The New Penguin History of the World by J.M. Roberts (I’m most interested in this one) http://cathyduffyreviews.com/history-geography/new-history-world.htm

    Stobaugh’s ‘World History’. Add other books to it to fill out the content. The readings are short, but questions thought-provoking. Some have complained that he adds too much of his own commentary. I’ m looking into that charge.                                                                    http://cathyduffyreviews.com/History-series-Stobaugh.htm
