Good especially for Modern dates & TV stars, etc.
9. Mai 2004
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I bought this book this past January and have been reading it daily. I find it makes a good companion to Cyril Leslie Beecham's book "The Dictionary of Dates" which lists more ancient dates. Instead, "On This Date", lists many more "modern" dates, such as those we are more familiar with, like the TV Premier of "ER", or the TV premier of "All in the Family", etc. Unlike some of the other date books, this one lists many more tv stars and movie stars than others, however, if you are looking to see when the Battle of Britain was, you probably won't find it in this book. It also didn't have Isak Dinesen's birthday (4/17/1885) although it did list VE Day.
Overall, this book is sort of a Hit-or-Miss book. For the Really Big dates that are things EVERYONE has heard of, you're sure to find it in here. But for the more obscure people or dates, you may want to check out another date book.
Very helpful!

My seventh grade students enjoy hearing about historic events and asking other teacher "Did you know...". The information is fun without being to 'babyish'.
On This Date... Great!

I like the various information provided under each date. Ordered two, kept one and gave one as a gift.
