There are many types of ways that communication can be learned from us through information, especially books and textbooks. Information communication is one of the best ways to earn about history for the average person and we can learn a lot from them.  Most forms of information communication bring up events that only could have happened if major events occurred in the past so there is always a connection in history. Two of the best forms of information communication have to be books and most textbooks. These two forms explain history the best in terms of events that take place and they can help us learn about events in history.  Books and textbooks are also a great example of how they depict linear history because they have the information to explain events in sequence and what major events can result from them. Other forms of communication that are helpful for us to understand linear history include computers and even television because you can find any information on the computer if you can find it and TV channels like the History Channel help us learn about major events that affected our world at the time of their occurrence.

Books and textbooks definitely contribute to our belief in linear history because most textbooks that I have read especially social studies textbooks have a timeline that put major events in chronological order so it is easy to see where events occurred in history. Timelines can be one of the most helpful devices in a book or textbook because it is easy to see when specific events occurred throughout history and we can even see historical people have a timeline for their lives and what they did. People these days would rather look at a timeline than read a paragraph or so about major events because they want it to be quick and easy. Textbooks can also be helpful without timelines and just text because they can go into a lot of detail about major events and what specific events occurred after them. If linear history means putting events in history according to their dates of occurrence, then textbooks and books with timelines are perfect to look at if we want to understand linear history.
