"The organization on any particular page [is]: short, brief, snappy, 1-lesson-at-a-time. One topic per page, one page (no more than two) per topic. One factoid per paragraph. Where there is more than enough to fill that guideline, break it up, put it a little further away, give it another snappy title, cross reference it. Just don't get bored with it. Pick it up any time, and learn one new thing. This is history for the MTV generation. These aren't essays, they are fact bites." - from the website. <http://renaissance.dm.net/compendium/index.html>
