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.

Good for encouraging curiosity
Format: Hardcover
Not an in-depth book, but great to provoke and encourage curiosity. We use it as a base of conversation, leading to more in-depth research through other sources.

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
