This review is from: Dk History of the World (Hardcover)
This history book is different in its effort to balance the treatment of each geographic area in the world. Most of the history books in English tend to look at the whole world from Western point of view. This book talks about Asia and Pacific Islands in an amazingly fresh and fair manner. There are plenty of pictures to please the eyes. The timeline at the beginning of each chapter is broken into parallel timelines on different continents in the world, which makes it very easy to have a general idea of time and space. I would recommend this book to any young reader, or even experienced reader, who likes to go on a pleasant trip back in time. After the reader finishes this book, another good book to follow is "Roads to Xanadu".
