Customer Reviews

Book came in bad condition!

This Book was rated to be in good shape. The book came ripped and with pages missing!!!

I liked this book so much--I bought it twice!

It's true. This book is such a hit at our house that our children refuse to share. Now they each have a history atlas! This book is very well put together. I only wish there were a more updated version so I could buy a few more copies.

Outstanding Resource

This book places an outline of world history in an attractive format. There are color maps and illustrations to accompany the highlights of different time periods. There are sections about languages, rulers, politics, agriculture, inventions, and more. A time chart with specific dates runs along the right hand page. Following the section about the twentieth century is a world time chart. On this chart, the dates run down the left and the names of the continents are across the top. This allows you, at a glance, to compare what was happening around the world. This atlas contains a glossary, index of maps, and general index as further study aids. An outstanding addition to home or class libraries.
