Product Review Monday
For this week’s book review, I’d like to highlight an excellent reference book for history buffs and homeschoolers entitled “The Timetables of History: A Horizontal Linkage of People and Events.”
This is a VERY thick book (our 3rd Edition copy has 724 pages) that is – literally – nothing but a year-by-year summary of events from about 4,500 B.C. to the present day across seven categories:
• History/politics
• Literature/theater
• Religion/philosophy/learning
• Visual arts
• Music
• Science/technology/growth
• Daily life
It’s not a book you read from cover to cover. Rather, it’s one of those references you can dip into and realize just how much was going on in centuries and millennia past.
We have the 3rd Edition (published in 1992), but there’s a revised 4th Edition (from 2005 available). Either version is highly recommended.

Don’s recommendation:
I’m a guy who’s on his knees a lot. Some of you may think that’s because I have a lot to answer for to the Almighty and there certainly is something to that.
But what I’m referring to is the nearly daily need to do hard work in low places. I’m fortunate that my knees aren’t the problem (an issue so many friends of a similar age suffer from); but even so, an hour or so working on something while on your knees can really hurt. So I have had a longstanding interest in knee pads.
I’ve tried a lot of different styles. I began with the padded elastic tube types years ago. But the elastic alway failed and since those styles of pads are more attached to the pants rather than the knees, every bend folowed by standing meant adjustments … and if you tried to knee-walk, you always left the pads further and further down your legs.
I tried Velco strap pads, but the Velco eventually failed. My second-to-last pair of knee pads were articlualated monstosities that made movement hard and still wouldn’t stay in place.
Finally, I found the CLC Work Gear Professional Kneepads. They are a joy. Great padding, flexible, totally adjustable, tough, and honestly inexpensive (read: cheap) at $30.
I highly recommend them; and if you get a pair, you (and your knees) will thank me.
