There are literally thousands of books available on the war. The only single-volume history I currently own is The First World War, by Martin Gilbert. It is unfortunately based on a combination of causes and events.
It all you're looking for is events you might try World War I Day by Day, by Ian Westwell. It also includes some overview of the causes, but it's easy to read, being only 190 pages. The bad news is that he doesn't cover every event, just the main ones.
As I've said earlier, one of my favorites is The Historical Atlas of World War I. It includes a lot more than just maps, and is very informative.
The bottom line is you're not going to find a single book that covers everything. If you google World War I History you'll find a wealth of websites to pick and choose from. That way you'll get an excellent overview of just about everything, and from there you'll be able to springboard to individual pages giving the events with as much, or as little detail as you want.
Or you can be patient and read the '100 Years' thread as it unfolds. Several people seem to be competing to be the first with the most, and what gets missed by one pretty much always gets covered by another.
