The Mystery of History Volume IV—Student Reader and digital Companion Guide

Original price was: $99.95.Current price is: $79.95.

The Mystery of History Volume IV (retailing at $99.95) covers world history from Johann Sebastian Bach (1708) to the global war on terror (2001–2014). Where most modern history books focus heavily on the World Wars, The Mystery of History Volume IV weaves American history into the pages of world history for proper context—on one thought-provoking timeline. (Access to a digital Companion Guide,  a 500+ page PDF resource—full of curriculum for all ages—is found on the inside cover of the book!)

 

BACKORDER ALERT! Good news and bad!  The Mystery of History Volume IV is so popular this year—that the publisher ran out!  However, if you order from us today, we’ll send you a PDF of the Student Reader (Quarter 1) and a PDF of the Companion Guide (Quarter 1) so you don’t have to wait to get started.  (Your purchase through us also gives you Quarter 1 of the audiobook—for free! It’s our gift.) We hope to be restocked in late September or early October.

FAQ
  • The author tells the truth about the gruesome side of modern history, but without graphic images (ie. There are no images of Holocaust corpses or emaciated bodies) or particular words (Ie. The author uses the word “assault” rather than “rape” to describe war crimes except for using “The Rape of Nanking” as the title of a tragic historical event.)

  • We don’t recommend Volume IV for Younger Students just starting our series. The reading level and themes are too difficult. However, if younger ones are tagging along Middle and Older Student siblings, the author offers age-appropriate activities to help little ones deflect. A good example of this would the the study of the Holocaust. Difficult for any age, the author steers Younger Students towards the positive themes of the value of life and heroism through hands-on activities in the Companion Guide.

  • This is a world history book, with a lot of American history in it, but not enough to count it for American history. However, an experienced teacher can use Volume IV in two years and add more American history to it to offer students one year of modern history and one year of American history.
