I hardly ever write product reviews but I have to comment on this book. This is one of the most amazing books I have ever seen. It is over 500 pages long, full color on every page, and incredibly comprehensive. There is an astounding amount of information inside! The timeline at the bottom of each page is a great quick-reference tool and I also noticed that important words or points within the text are bolded. I love the fact that it focuses on the entire world and does not seem biased toward U.S. history. It is a steal for $25!
To DK Publishing, This is by far one of the best books that DK has done so far. Their work includes the Definite Visual Guides for Earth, Universe, History, Art, Science, Ocean and their best-selling Animal. I have never ssen a history book that gives a definite visual chronology of the events and people that have defined our history. From our own origins to the death of Al-Qaeda Leader Osama Bin Laden this book gives it's ultimate best in providing a clear picture of our human past and the events that have changed our world. For anyone who is fascinated with History, this is a must-have. It's a great reference for students and teachers alike with a passion of understanding the Past. DK Publishing, do continue your great work. Thank you.Sincerely, Curtis Spratte-Lennington
I'm still reading this wonderful history book. Each of the pages are beautifully laid out. Covering all of history in one book means that it is fairly superficial, but it is a pleasure to go through at a leisurely pace. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes DK books (Dorling Kindersley). Their books seem to only get better and better. More and more competition seems to be out there, but no one does it better than DK. I own dozens of their books and have rarely been disappointed. This is the kind of book that you must own and hold in your own hands. No e-book could ever take its place. It is the best world history book I have ever seen.Two small caveats, I sense a bit of British bias as I read through this book, and there's the rare and minor typos that most books seem to have.As a former teacher I would rate this book high school to adult. Some younger children with a very good vocabularies and high interest in history might enjoy it as well.
This book is fantastic. So much information and gorgeous pictures, I can sit for hours looking through this book. This is my 14th DK coffee table book. It takes you from the beginning when humans first walked the earth up to now. One of my favorite DK books.
This book is a must have for those interested in history or for educational purposes. I love this book and the layout and design is amazing. Would make a great gift for the serious reader.
Simply, a great work of History and Human Evolution. Very detailed content with satisfying visual support. Easy Reading.Have at least 20 books in this category (Visual Reference Book on History) & can easily say one of the best.
I was super-duper excited about this book. I love history and I love lush visuals. However, I'm not in love with this book. It needs more maps. AND it is squished. Every page could use fewer images but larger and better quality images. Go ahead and squeeze all the printed info onto each page, but declutter the overall impression, please!!!The best I can describe this book is "channel-surfing." That's how I feel when I try to enjoy it. Or like this book has ADHD, if that makes sense!A few of the spreads are great, but overall I am quite disappointed. I'm going to give this book as a gift, but I'm back on the prowl for a more cohesive, more beautiful visual history of the world.
If you had to get stuck on a remote island without a computer, smart phone, and could only have one book, this is the one. This covers all history not just 20th century, not just American, Jacques De Molay, Justinian, Tupac Amaru, are all listed, along with thousands and thousands of others. If you have a child who isn't into history, or feel like their history books are light on info this book will take care of it. It really is more fun to look through this, compared to looking up everything on Wikipedia.
