Ming Shi was written by the bright moon that year. Very good, the content is wonderful. It vividly tells the history of the Ming Dynasty, with extensive and authoritative materials, without losing the author's own unique views. Whether it is used for learning or as a story, it is quite good. You can download e-books.
"What is history?" Written by Yuan Tengfei, the language is super humorous and excellent. After reading it, I benefited a lot. There are complimentary CDs in the book.
A General History of the World was written by L·S· Stavri Anoos of the United States. Our teacher said that the history of college entrance examination is often drawn from it. The author of this book died in 2000. What a pity! It is recommended to read paper books. Although it is difficult and expensive, the pictures inside are very valuable.
You can also choose historical records. Personally, I think it is a history book, and the language is not boring. Generally, there are vernacular versions on the market.
