  • Good overview of human history
Format: Hardcover
I really like the pictures and descriptions in this book. They are interesting and to the point. It is a little hard to read cover to cover, because of the book’s size and scope, but read a little bit at a time or as a reference, this book is quite good.

  • A must for parents who truly care about the education of their kids.
Format: Hardcover
With teachers unions dominating the curricular limitations on students, and PC teachers that lack much of the needed academic foundation for actually teaching, it is up to parents to support their child’s intellectual growth despite these imposed limitations. Text & graphics are well presented, and learning can result. ... show more

  • So much detail and excellent pictorials and diagrams
Format: Hardcover
This has some really good details of a lot of history of civilizations. Anti-evolutionists will have to bite their tongue and try to get past some of the very early pages, but if they can, it is worth it to see the presentation of how a lot of human history and civilizations progressed across the map. For the most part, this was presented in a pretty impartial manner with lots of very good detail, trivia and facts scattered on each page as you make your way through from ancient history and migrations to the current times. All this in typical DK Knowledge book style with plenty of side boxes and notes and full page custom diagrams and pictorials. ... show more

  • Great for homeschoolers! A wealth of information!
Format: Hardcover
We are homeschooling our little girl and decided to purchase this as part of her curriculum. The information within is clear and concise, relating to different time periods and cultures. The illustrations just blew us away; absolutely gorgeous! The illustrations' beauty and relevance make it much easier to teach and absorb knowledge. And we, as parents, are learning in the process as well. ... show more

  • Great book, but damaged binding
Format: Hardcover
I'm unsure of how to review this because the book itself is great, so I don't want to give fewer stars to make people think it isn't. But the binding was damaged and it's coming off. I'm not thrilled about that and unfortunately can't drive anywhere right now to bring it somewhere to have it returned. ... show more
