In order to understand what is happening in the world today politically, socially, culturally, and environmentally, historical knowledge is vitally important to possess.

“He who knows only his own generation remains always a child.” – Cicero

Despite the Roman philosopher famous statement, historical knowledge is also increasingly rare today. Professors at universities may be able to dedicate their lives to why events, people, and ideas in the past are important, but most people on the street today do not have the time to devote to learning about history.

At Mesa Verde Publishing, we draw together the best scholars in all fields of history and distill their knowledge into specific encyclopedias and handbooks that allow ordinary people to grasp the specific facts relating to the events, people, and ideas that make up history, but also to comprehend the interpretations that allow us to understand the large themes that dominate different periods of history in different parts of the world.
