Description

In 2016, there has been a lot to make sense of. When you peruse the pages of this e-book, it might strike you that each of the 52 weeks was significant in its own way. Of course, some weeks were most significant than others. From the Philippines and Turkey to the US and the UK, tectonic plates of history were on the move. In 100 years, we will be reading about what happened in 2016 and strive to make sense of it.

With its weekly deep dives and truly global coverage, The World This Year 2016 is history in a hurry.
