World History: From the Ancient World to the Information Age (DK Ultimate Guides)

My son loves history and he hasn’t put the book down since he got it!

I purchased this book hoping that it was top quality. I was shocked! It's one of the most wonderful books I've ever owned. The book arrived inside a beautiful protective box. I feel that the book is worth far more than the price I paid for it. I'm now reading every word, and I cannot begin to say how much I appreciate this fine writing. I'm learning a great, great deal.

Lots of history and pictures, it takes me to study history.

Good book and nice bookcase, a little cheap quality the case itself, once dropped it cracked:( The rest is I am okay with.

Bought this as a Christmas present for a high school history teacher as soon as they opened it they had so much fun going thru it. She said it had a different way of getting the information across and plans to use it in her classroom.

This came in a hard back cover case it’s is so much better than expected

Good, as complete as it could be for a 400-page book trying to cover over 5,000 years of history.

this is a great book for any age. it has lots of pictures and fun facts about each origin and time. the book included a case. I bought this for my granddaughter and she is going to love. it. great value! I am very pleased.

Un de mes plus beaux livres, l’histoire du monde en résumés synthétiques, par ordre chronologique

This is one of the best books on world history for kids. My 12 years old son willingly and happily reads it.

It is too superficial, even gives a wrong perception on some facts and periods of history - but it looks pretty ...

Great book, with a nice storytelling!

Remove the hardcover book from its outer box to reveal Tutankhamun on the front cover. The shiny hieroglyphics on box itself was enough to get my daughter interested in the history book - a first! The 416 pages inside cover 5,000 years of illustrated history and the author uses coloured bars to introduce subjects and frequent headings to split up the text into an encyclopedia style of presentation that makes the book easy to read and and keeps even those with the shortest attention spans engaged! In 'World History,' Parker hasn't just written a history book, he's created a coffee-table masterpiece that you can pick up and put down as often as you like, use it to settle those sisterly disagreements ("Dad, which came first, World War 2 or the English Civil War?") and keep referring back to it when you're caught out by a quiz show.
