PAP. Condición: New. New Book. Shipped from UK. Established seller since 2000.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Some dates seem to carry more history than others.On April 15, Abraham Lincoln drew his last breath, the Titanic slipped beneath the waves, Jackie Robinson broke baseball's color barrier, and insulin became widely available to save countless lives. The same day has seen the founding of General Electric, the first flight of the B-52, the liberation of Bergen-Belsen, the opening of the first franchised McDonald's, and the spark that ignited the Tiananmen Square protests.This book gathers the remarkable events that have fallen on April 15 across the centuries - disasters and triumphs, breakthroughs and tragedies, moments of courage and quiet turning points. From medieval battles and papal decrees to modern wars, civil rights milestones, and technological leaps, it reveals how much human experience can unfold on a single calendar square.Far from suggesting any mystical pattern, On This Date (April 15) simply shows that history does not only happen on the dates we already consider "important." It happens on ordinary days too, and sometimes those days end up mattering more than we first realize.Whether you enjoy history, coincidences, or simply discovering fascinating nuggets from the past, this book offers an engaging journey through time, one day at a time.The first in a planned series, On This Date (April 15) invites readers to look at the calendar with fresh eyes - and to wonder what stories future April 15ths may one day hold.
