Explore 12,000+ years of history with this richly illustrated encyclopedia, covering prehistoric times to modern events, plus interactive online resources. Review: Brilliant informative book - I bought this for my nine year old because he's interested in history. I wanted him to be able to learn more about world history so that he's inspired to think beyond English school syllabus. This did it. He's been devouring it, and says it was one of his favourite birthday presents. It covers so many different cultures and has brilliant illustrations. Review: AMAZING book and illustrations - This book REALLY deserves a review. It’s absolutely beautiful and AMAZING. 5 stars out of 5! It’s a book that teaches you the history of the world from the dinosaurs to the year 2000AC. Perfect for both adults and children. It’s absolutely FULL of beautiful coloured illustrations and photos. I decided to take pictures of some beautiful illustrations and pages from the book as the ad doesn’t show any, which it’s a shame. Highly recommended.

子どもはまだ読んでませんが、これから読むところです。 英語の読む練習をしながら、歴史の勉強もできるので、良い本だと思います。

Great illustrations, captivating for elementary or even kindergarten students. Concepts are concise and simple with lots of visual stimulation for younger kids. Definitely a must have for any library especially for homeschooling. We use it as a part of a curriculum. I love the sturdiness of every page not just the cover. It also has word lists and world time charts in the back. It goes from the very beginning, dinosaurs, Neolithic to all civilization and wars, till discussing current issues like climate, cinema, technology, human rights…

Muito legal. Muitas informações interessantes. Minhas filhas amaram e mesmo sendo em inglês a gente consegue compreender bem, ou só usar o tradutor . Vale a pena

We purchased this to accompany the history curriculum "The Story of the World". It is a beautiful resource that is full of engaging illustrations and detailed information. Our children love to read it and always have excellent questions and observations after spending time with it.
