People who have had the opportunity to hear Diana Waring speak live at a homeschooling convention have experienced an amazing thing - they've told me so. Its impossible to not be drawn in by the enthusiasm, the incredible depth of knowledge, love for the subject, and the dynamic style which characterizes Diana's seminars and workshops. That same experience can be at your very finger-tips with the What in the World? CDs. Diana presents the history of the world in 3 different volumes. These 4-disc sets describe people and events based upon archeology and research. Through listening to her recordings you will hear and envision Gods influence throughout the periods of history. These CDs correspond to the curriculum and tracks are rearranged to align with Usshers chronology. Although central to Diana's curriculum, the CDs can also be used as a supplement to other history programs or for the history buff who just wants to informally learn a little more.
