I got this as a Christmas present in Christman of 1995 and let me say that this is one of my favorite history books that I own considering that I love reading about World history.

The way they illustrate the various styles of cultures in the various countries and regions of the world is just amazing and the description is vivid without being too overwhelming for younger readers eager to learn about foreign countries around the world.

I really enjoy the statistics of each country mentioned in this book and while some of them are a bit heartbreaking, it's true and satisfies my curiousity about the numerous countries and the societies in them.

I also like the illustrations of the landscapes and the pictures of the tribes, populations, and city illustrations. It really makes this book fun to read.

This encyclopedia is very outdated considering that it was released way back in 1995 but I still read it a lot because they did a great job at creating a great educational tool not just for kids but also for older kids and adults and elders of all ages to enjoy reading as well.

I liked this book alot it taught me a lot of interesting things that I never knew about the world and it got me interested in geography!

I would reccomend it to everyone who is interested in world facts!

In this book, I find myself very good at memorizing the capital cities of each country. My I.Q. was improved by this book. Circling the book is one of the best atlas books ever made. They give additional information about every country, its emblem, facts and figures, delicacies and even some languages. Reading the whole books is even better than just peeking at its pictures. Worth the read! ^_^enjoy

I read this book daily to my children. One country per day - except some take a few days) It's an excellent book for such a Beechick/Sonlight/Charlotte Mason literature based type homeschool use!
