5.0 out of 5 stars What a great little fat history of everything!, July 30, 2000

This review is from: Civilizations (Factfinder Series) (Hardcover)

I read the first 110 pages of this book immediately after receiving it. Then I took a breath and read the rest the next day. What a handy reference to keep right on my desk. With tons of basic interesting stories, the layout and graphics of this small fat volume make it very easy and enjoyable to read. The history of the world is broken up into easy-to-chew bite-sized chunks of information. Each two page-page spread is complete with text, illustrations and timeline. I recommend this for anyone of any age who wants to understand human history through the passage of time.
